OUR SPEAKER:

Our friend Alison Bing is an author, and writer on art, culture, travel and food based in the Bay Area. Her forthcoming book investigates the role of craft in community building in our technologically accelerating world.

Alison has lived through divisive times in small town America and other contested territories throughout the world, including the U.K., China, India, Palestine, Israel, Uganda, and Ethiopia, among others. The daughter of a peace mediator and feminist social worker, Alison was raised to question convenient narratives — and as a young punk, found herself at home among outsiders everywhere.

With cultural frictions in the United States reaching a new peak, Alison believes that now is not the time to paper over important differences.

Through academic study and lived experience of conflict resolution, she finds that people don't need to agree to start peacebuilding, finding ways to share mutual aid, build civic institutions, and reshape our world with our own hands. Through witnessing successes and mistakes — including her own — in times of conflict, Alison's perspectives are uniquely globalist and profoundly appreciative of genuine diversity.

Tonight we’ll discuss peacebuilding, starting from Allison’s own stories. Even while starting from a point of profound disagreement, how might we actually make more progress toward shared respect and deeper community?
