Alise Cortez, host of the Working on Purpose radio show on Voice America’s Empowerment channel, will interview Dr. Kuehnast about her own professional journey and the work she and her many partners are doing in developing programs, symposiums, and research which address masculinity and femininity issues and opportunities in conflict and conflict resolution across the globe.
Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2015 -- Bringing guests who personally and meaningfully connect with their work such as Dr. Mark Rosenberg, the President and CEO of The Task Force for Global Health and author of The Good Life: Aspiration, Dignity, and the Anthropology of Wellbeing Dr. Edward F. Fischer, Alise Cortez has built a loyal listenership and continues to educate and inspire listeners worldwide.
Dr. Kathleen Kuehnast is the Senior Gender Advisor at the U.S. Institute of Peace, a thematic program that she has led since 2009. Through the management of both project and research efforts, the Institute focuses on the gendered impacts of violent conflict and post-conflict transitions on both men and women. In this capacity, Dr. Kuehnast has directed the Women Preventing Extremist Violence pilot project in Kenya and Nigeria, an effort to engage civil society women leaders with local security actors in preventing violent extremism. Overall, her work has been focused on the U.N. Resolution 1325 and the critical role women should play in all aspects of peacebuilding. She has been a part of the vanguard of introducing the concept of Men, Peace and Security as an integrative approach toward engaging men in championing women's rights. Dr. Kuehnast's interview on the Working on Purpose radio show will air Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 3 pm Pacific Time.
Working on Purpose is broadcast live every Wednesday at 3 pm Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel.
"Upon first hearing Dr. Kuehnast speak at a luncheon in Dallas addressing the role of the every day peacemaker, I was struck by the extremely impressive and exciting career she has built working with men and women all over the world to empower conflict resolution and peacebuilding. It occurred to me that each and every one of us need to hear her message and embolden ourselves to lend a hand in her peacekeeping initiatives," says Alise Cortez, the host of the Working on Purpose radio show.
