Peace studies week begins second year By Sarah Kitchen Of (hr Emerald Peace in a variety of forms is the theme for the second annual Peace Week. April 6-11. “This year we decided to look at peace. Peace is very widely defined because it means a lot of different things. The week will highlight the different aspects of peace," said He bra Liebowitz, ASUO coordinator of programs. “1 hope people will see that peace is not just the absence of violence, but also the absence of structural violence,” she added. During the days of Peace Week, various videos, presenta tions and discussions will be held, with a different keynote address each evening. Adolfo Perez Esquivel of Argentina, the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize winner, will speak tonight at 7:110 in the EMU Ballroom about “Nonviolence: A Tool for Social Change.” In 1974 Perez gave up his academic career to do human rights work in Argentina. In 1977, the Argentina military junta arrested Perez and tor tured and imprisoned him for 14 months. Even though he was placed under house arrest after his release, Perez continued to be active on behalf of human rights in Argentina. He worked with the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who met weekly in Buenos Aires to protest the disappearance of their children. “When he won the Nobel Peace Prize, the old government (of Argentina) was still in power, and they were unhappy that a person they considered a dissident was getting interna tional attention," Liebowitz said. Perez also will talk about topics such as Liberation Theology, the Latin debt crisis and conflict in Central America. A religious perspective on peace will be introduced by Thomas Banyacya. a represen tative of the Hopi Indians. Ilis address is titled “Peace and Justice: The Hopi Perspective.” Banyacya has been involved with talks between the Dine (Navajo) and Hopi elders con cerning II.S. government relocation efforts.
