The growing literature on diasporas’ involvement in homeland conflicts shows that new global diasporas have the power to influence political, social, and economic developments in their country of origin and residence. Although research in these areas is growing, there is still much to discover about what roles diasporas play under which circumstances in conflict resolution and transitional justice mechanisms. Dr. Baser’s research seeks to fill this gap by first reviewing the existing literature on diaspora engagement and then examining the Kurdish Diaspora as a case study meant to demonstrate the complexities and challenges of integrating diaspora narratives into a peace, reconciliation, and transitional justice framework. Between 2009 and 2015, Turkey underwent a “peace process” where Turkish authorities negotiated with the PKK…

The avant-garde writer Bei Cun 北村 (1965-) is one of many Chinese intellectuals who have turned to Christianity in recent years. The Baptizing River 施洗的河 is the first work he published after his conversion. A psychosocial biography of its anti-hero Liu Lang set in the 1940s, the novel follows the protagonist from a beleaguered childhood to sexual awakening and self-loathing at university, through a business career in illegal commodities, to apathy and addiction in middle age — and on to his “baptism” in the penultimate chapter of the novel.

Engaging with Empathy: a preferential option for the poor in development
The poor, according to Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach, consist of individuals who are deprived of basic freedoms such as education, political power, and other capabilities that allow individuals to achieve full lives that they have reason to value. This approach broadens the definition of poverty beyond traditional terms of financial power to recognize a multitude of “unfreedoms” which hinder upward movement in society. Historically, marginalized individuals most affected by policy changes are often ignored in the decision-making process in the development arena. This creates dire consequences: from lack of acceptance and implementation of new initiatives at the grassroots level to the inability of locals to adapt and scale programs according to their own community’s specific needs.…
