Season 3 of Disrupting Peace: Taking the First Steps Towards Peace

Mint green background with the words, "Disrupting Peace," at the top and an orange graphic design at the bottom, with the words World Peace Foundation.

In Season 3 of Disrupting Peace, we are looking around the world – and here in the US – to explore the very first steps everyday people can take towards peace. We often think of this as something that belongs to policymakers and leaders of armed factions – not to the average person. But this season, we’re diving into the individual efforts we can take to make this world more peaceful.  

Season 3 launches on September 9th. Listen below, on our website, or find us on your favorite podcast platform, like: Apple podcasts, Spotify, & Castbox. Check out our first two seasons and stay with us as season launches.

Bridget Conley leads WPF’s research programs on atrocity response and incarceration, and hosts WPF's podcast, Disrupting Peace. She works closely with the Executive Director on project development, fundraising and strategic vision for WPF. Currently, her primary research focus concerns the implications of American mass incarceration for local, national and international policies.

She also leads our program on mass atrocities and was a researcher on the mass starvation program. The author of Memory from the Margins: Ethiopia’s Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum (Palgrave 2019); co-editor of Accountability for Starvation: Testing the Limits of the Law (Oxford University Press, 2021), and editor of How Mass Atrocities End: Studies from Guatemala, Burundi, Indonesia, the Sudans, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Iraq (Cambridge University Press 2016), she has also published on starvation crimes, the 1992 – 1995 war in Bosnia, mass atrocities and genocide, and how museums can engage on human rights issues.

She previously worked as Research Director for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Committee on Conscience, where she led the Museum’s research and projects on contemporary threats of genocide, where she produced multimedia public outreach materials, formulated positions on contemporary threats of genocide, and curated exhibitions.

She received a PhD in Comparative Literature from Binghamton University in 2001. When she is not in the office, she is happiest with her family or on a mountain summit.
