In his talk, “Reimagining Community: Moving Beyond Us and Them,” he spoke about the power of culture in creating communities of peace and the power of community engagement in sustaining peace.  He challenged participants on their notions of community fluidity and engagement with his experience in studying and in working with diverse perspectives. While exploring the culture of peace, Professor Singh addressed the roles played by memory and forgiveness in facilitating and obstructing the culture of peace.
