This document outlines Paul Cormier's presentation on decolonizing peace research. It discusses the concept of perspectivism and how there are many ways to view a phenomenon. It then provides Galtung's perspective on positive and negative peace as well as his concept of cultural violence. The presentation asserts that peace research should follow Indigenous paradigms and worldviews, implement Indigenous epistemologies, and use holism as a framework. It provides key assumptions for Indigenous contexts, such as the link between land and community health. The presentation concludes that action research can be a culturally congruent process for peacebuilding when based on traditional Indigenous values and culture.

Title: Does Social and Transcultural Psychiatry Have a Political Agenda? Should It?
Presenter: Vincenzo Di Nicola, MPhil, MD, PhD
Where: Division of Social & Transcultural Psychiatry, McGill University When: February 20, 2020
Abstract:
Social and transcultural psychiatry, understood as a systemic understanding of historically and culturally situated relationships, the social determinants of health and their cognate approaches and studies, now compel psychiatry to consider the political. This seminar argues against the Western dichotomy since Aristotle of natural and political, private and public life, allowing the state to politicize biological life, creating a “biopolitics,” employing Giorgio Agamben’s historical-philosophical investigations. We will examine two figures in 20th century psychiatry – Frantz Fanon and Franco Basaglia – in their call for revolution and reform in psychiatry and society and contrast their positions with the political uses and abuses of psychiatry including Didier Fassin’s critique of humanitarian reason and Martin La Roche’s call for therapeutic activism. Finally, we conclude on the implications for a new politics and a new psychiatry.

Naïve Realism, a Social Misconception that Divides Us and Them: The Case of Y...inventionjournals
The current study explores the common social misconception of naïve realism which has relentlessly
divided people and obstructed resolution of human conflicts. The three underlying assumptions of naïve realism
inform us that opposing parties hold different construal which leads to different behaviors; the parities tend to
polarize construal differences between us and them; and people attribute subjective ideological bias to
opponent‟s viewpoint or behavior. The current study tests the theoretical assumptions on a controversial
international political issue of Japanese leaders‟ visits to the Yasukuni shrine. The findings have partially
supported the underlying assumptions of naïve realism and further testified the power of naïve realism as a
social misconception in deepening intergroup bias and broadening perceived disparity between groups.
However, the study results have also provided support for the caveat of naïve realism in urging people to remain
optimistic in searching for common ground between opposing parties. Although in bitter antagonism,
supporters and non-supporters of Yasukuni are in fact not so distant in their opinions on the problem of
enshrining Class-A criminals in Yasukuni which has long been deemed as the crux of the Yasukuni issue. The
findings also revealed that attention should be redirected to the aspect of attending to feelings of other warvictim

Fight for Equality and Peace
Title slide
The struggle for peace and equality, especially from the oppressors, is a hard task and may not be as easy as it may sound. The reason that makes it hard to attain is that the oppressors will also be struggling to continue oppressing the vulnerable and remaining at the top while subjecting the vulnerable to hard conditions. Various undertakings have to be involved and from various sections of individuals, especially the youths in the fight to attain this peace and equality for all the individuals and those that are oppressed by the oppressors. Numerous processes also have to be undertaken in the missions of struggling for peace and equality for all. As a result, it becomes important to look at various aspects that are related to the struggle for peace and equality.
Youths and fight for peace and equality: The role they play in peace-building and struggle for equality.
The youths have an essential role to play in the fight for equality and peace, and they are deemed to be at the forefront of this struggle. Specifically, according to Felice, (2016), the youths play the role of supporting advocacy for both peace-building missions and creating meaningful lives. The other essential role that the youth play in the search for peace and equality for all is that they develop essential approaches that are meant for advancing the political input of all the persons and developing essential efforts destined for making the above political participation be sustainable and even prevail for long. The youths are also integrated into the civil structures aimed at ensuring peace as well as equality for everyone prevails as the failure to integrate them may lead to the entire failure of such peace-finding missions and corporations, (Kemper, 2005). However, despite the essential roles played by the youths, other sections of the community may fail to appreciate them and their efforts, especially when dealing with issues related to peace-missions.
Struggle for peace and equality: Anti-war movements in America
The anti-war movements are among the major strategies of fighting for peace and also ensuring that equality prevails for every individual in any society. Specifically, the contest for peace in American communities involved the use of forces and anti-war movements during the periods that the United States was involved in numerous war crisis that hindered the prevalence of peace in this nation, (Gottfried, 2014). The colonial agents were highly concerned in fighting and also prosecuting the people that led such movements, which included the Mennonites, the Brethren, and the Quakers as they failed to s ...

Culture has many different meanings anywhere from historical perspectives to behavioral perspectives to different traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations.
Levi Strauss was interested in structuralism which he defined as “the search for unusual harmonies” (pg 1 Jandt). “There are many more human cultures than human races”, human cultures are counted by the thousands and human races are divided up by units.
The collaboration between cultures is trying to compare the old world with the new world. “No society is intrinsically cumulative. Cumulative history is the way of life of cultures and how they get a long together. All cultural contributions are divided into two groups; isolated acquisitions or features, the features are important but at the same time they are limited. The second group is systemized contributions which is how each society has chosen to express human aspirations. According to Strauss the true contribution of a culture is its difference from others.
Geert Hostede looks at business cultures and states that culture may be divided into four categories symbols, heroes, rituals and values. “Understanding people means understanding their background from which their present and future behavior can be predicted”. There are also four national cultural differences: 1.power distance-the population from equal to extremely unequal 2. Individualism -people have learned to act as individuals rather than in a group 3.masculinity- assertiveness or masculine values prevail over the feminine ones 4.uncertainty avoidance- people in a country prefer structured over unstructured situations.

Our culture is something that has been ingrained in us from an early age, and is largely unconscious. Levi-Strauss says that while certain biological traits were selected for us in the beginning of evolution, as soon as culture came into being, those biological traits were influenced by the dynamics of culture (Jandt, p. 6). Essentially, we are not able to separate ourselves from culture, and to do so would be to ruin what is wonderful and unique about each culture. According to Hofstede, all cultures have their processes, and their values. While things like symbols and rituals in a culture vary greatly, he says; “Values represent the deepest level of culture. (Jandt, p. 9)”
Because culture is deeply ingrained in us, all of the variants that Levi-Strauss and Hofstede discussed must be taken in account when dealing wit.

Looking from a Theoretical Lens Perspective
Theory and research are interrelated in many ways: Theory frames what we look at, how we think and look at it. It provides basic concepts and directs us to the important questions. It suggests ways for us to make sense of research data. Theory enables us to connect a single study to the immense base of knowledge to which other researchers contribute. It helps a researcher see the forest instead of just a single tree. Theory increases a researcher’s awareness of interconnections and of the broader significance of data (Neuman, 1997).
Theories are, by their nature, abstract and provide a selective and one-sided account of the many-sided concrete social world. The theory allows the researcher to make links between the abstract and the concrete, the theoretical and the empirical, thought statements and observational statements etc.
Social theory informs our understanding of issues, which, in turn, assists us in making research decisions and making sense of the world. Theories play an important role in the development of the research questions and the goals of the study as well as throughout the entire process designing and engaging the research (Ravitch & Riggan, 2012).
We can examine issues of race and ethnicity, which is my point of interest through three major sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. For this discussion, I will only develop the Conflict theory as an example of a theory in Race and ethnicity.
Under conflict theory, in order to hold onto their distinctive social status, power, and possessions, privileged groups are invested in seeing that no competition for resources arises from minority groups. The powerful may even be ready to resort to extreme acts of violence against others to protect their interests. Thus, members of underprivileged groups may retaliate with violence in an attempt to improve their circumstances.
Conflict theories are often applied to inequalities of gender, social class, education, race, and ethnicity. A conflict theory perspective of U.S. history would examine the numerous past and current struggles between the white ruling class and racial and ethnic minorities, noting specific conflicts that have arisen when the dominant group perceived a threat from the minority group. In the late nineteenth century, the rising power of black Americans after the Civil War resulted in draconian Jim Crow laws that severely limited black political and social.
For example, Vivien Thomas (1910–1985), the black surgical technician who helped develop the groundbreaking surgical technique that saves ...

(Others think that race and ethnicity are unrelated to their own lives and
should be the concern of those in barrios, ghettos, and ethnic studies pro-
grams. Wome worry about race and ethnicity but avoid talking about
them for fear of being thought racist.IYet others think that even noticing
race and ethnicity is wrong and that these concepts should not be taken
into account when someone is deciding how to interact with another
person.{Still others believe that U.S. Americans have not begun to talk
seriously about these topics and that no one can understand society with-

with wealth, status, life chances, and well-being in general.
Given the wide range of possible reactions, we might ask, Why are
race and ethnicity so central to our lives and at the same time so difficult
and taboo?
In this essay, the authors propose an understanding of race and ethnic-
ity that, at first, may be hard to accept.tC~ntrary to what most people
believe, race and ethnicity are not things that people have or are. Rather,
they are actions that people do. 1l'R;ce and ethnicity are social, historical,.
and philosophical processes that people have done for hundreds of years
and are still doing. IThey emerge through the social ·transactions that
take place among different kinds of people, in a variety of institutional
structures (e.g., schools, workplaces, government offices, courts, media),
over time, across space, and in all kinds of situations.
Our framework for understanding them draws on the work of schol-
ars of race and ethnicity around the world, including professors asso-
ciated with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity
(CCSRE) at Stanford University. Over the past several decades, the topics
ofrace and ethnicity have become increasingly central to the research and
theorizing of sociologists, psychologists, and h~rians as well as schol-
ars in the humanities, the law, and education.lPsychologists most often
focus on why people stereotype others and on the multiple negative out-
comes for those who are the target of these stereotypes (e.g., Baron and
Banaji 2006; Dovidio, Glick, and Rudman 2005; Eberhardt and Fiske

Culture has many different meanings anywhere from historical perspectives to behavioral perspectives to different traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations.
Levi Strauss was interested in structuralism which he defined as “the search for unusual harmonies” (pg 1 Jandt). “There are many more human cultures than human races”, human cultures are counted by the thousands and human races are divided up by units.
The collaboration between cultures is trying to compare the old world with the new world. “No society is intrinsically cumulative. Cumulative history is the way of life of cultures and how they get a long together. All cultural contributions are divided into two groups; isolated acquisitions or features, the features are important but at the same time they are limited. The second group is systemized contributions which is how each society has chosen to express human aspirations. According to Strauss the true contribution of a culture is its difference from others.
Geert Hostede looks at business cultures and states that culture may be divided into four categories symbols, heroes, rituals and values. “Understanding people means understanding their background from which their present and future behavior can be predicted”. There are also four national cultural differences: 1.power distance-the population from equal to extremely unequal 2. Individualism -people have learned to act as individuals rather than in a group 3.masculinity- assertiveness or masculine values prevail over the feminine ones 4.uncertainty avoidance- people in a country prefer structured over unstructured situations.

Our culture is something that has been ingrained in us from an early age, and is largely unconscious. Levi-Strauss says that while certain biological traits were selected for us in the beginning of evolution, as soon as culture came into being, those biological traits were influenced by the dynamics of culture (Jandt, p. 6). Essentially, we are not able to separate ourselves from culture, and to do so would be to ruin what is wonderful and unique about each culture. According to Hofstede, all cultures have their processes, and their values. While things like symbols and rituals in a culture vary greatly, he says; “Values represent the deepest level of culture. (Jandt, p. 9)”
Because culture is deeply ingrained in us, all of the variants that Levi-Strauss and Hofstede discussed must be taken in account when dealing wit.

Looking from a Theoretical Lens Perspective
Theory and research are interrelated in many ways: Theory frames what we look at, how we think and look at it. It provides basic concepts and directs us to the important questions. It suggests ways for us to make sense of research data. Theory enables us to connect a single study to the immense base of knowledge to which other researchers contribute. It helps a researcher see the forest instead of just a single tree. Theory increases a researcher’s awareness of interconnections and of the broader significance of data (Neuman, 1997).
Theories are, by their nature, abstract and provide a selective and one-sided account of the many-sided concrete social world. The theory allows the researcher to make links between the abstract and the concrete, the theoretical and the empirical, thought statements and observational statements etc.
Social theory informs our understanding of issues, which, in turn, assists us in making research decisions and making sense of the world. Theories play an important role in the development of the research questions and the goals of the study as well as throughout the entire process designing and engaging the research (Ravitch & Riggan, 2012).
We can examine issues of race and ethnicity, which is my point of interest through three major sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. For this discussion, I will only develop the Conflict theory as an example of a theory in Race and ethnicity.
Under conflict theory, in order to hold onto their distinctive social status, power, and possessions, privileged groups are invested in seeing that no competition for resources arises from minority groups. The powerful may even be ready to resort to extreme acts of violence against others to protect their interests. Thus, members of underprivileged groups may retaliate with violence in an attempt to improve their circumstances.
Conflict theories are often applied to inequalities of gender, social class, education, race, and ethnicity. A conflict theory perspective of U.S. history would examine the numerous past and current struggles between the white ruling class and racial and ethnic minorities, noting specific conflicts that have arisen when the dominant group perceived a threat from the minority group. In the late nineteenth century, the rising power of black Americans after the Civil War resulted in draconian Jim Crow laws that severely limited black political and social.
For example, Vivien Thomas (1910–1985), the black surgical technician who helped develop the groundbreaking surgical technique that saves ...

what were painful racially conflicted chapters in its national history;
(Others think that race and ethnicity are unrelated to their own lives and
should be the concern of those in barrios, ghettos, and ethnic studies pro-
grams. Wome worry about race and ethnicity but avoid talking about
them for fear of being thought racist.IYet others think that even noticing
race and ethnicity is wrong and that these concepts should not be taken
into account when someone is deciding how to interact with another
person.{Still others believe that U.S. Americans have not begun to talk
seriously about these topics and that no one can understand society with-
out analyzing how race and ethnicity are linked and deeply intertwined
with wealth, status, life chances, and well-being in general.
Given the wide range of possible reactions, we might ask, Why are
race and ethnicity so central to our lives and at the same time so difficult
and taboo?
In this essay, the authors propose an understanding of race and ethnic-
ity that, at first, may be hard to accept.tC~ntrary to what most people
believe, race and ethnicity are not things that people have or are. Rather,
they are actions that people do. 1l'R;ce and ethnicity are social, historical,.
and philosophical processes that people have done for hundreds of years
and are still doing. IThey emerge through the social ·transactions that
take place among different kinds of people, in a variety of institutional
structures (e.g., schools, workplaces, government offices, courts, media),
over time, across space, and in all kinds of situations.
Our framework for understanding them draws on the work of schol-
ars of race and ethnicity around the world, including professors asso-
ciated with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity
(CCSRE) at Stanford University. Over the past several decades, the topics
ofrace and ethnicity have become increasingly central to the research and
theorizing of sociologists, psychologists, and h~rians as well as schol-
ars in the humanities, the law, and education.lPsychologists most often
focus on why people stereotype others and on the multiple negative out-
comes for those who are the target of these stereotypes (e.g., Baron and
Banaji 2006; Dovidio, Glick, and Rudman 2005; Eberhardt and Fiske
1998; Jones 1997; Steele 1992), while sociologists often concentrate on
racism as a system of beliefs that justifies the privilege of the dominant

9. Perspective
Perspectivism posits that we can know no fact
without interpretation, hold no claim of reality
independent of belief.
Perspectivism also holds that there are many
ways of viewing a phenomenon, many angles
that offer promise to the viewer. There is no
best perspective, only a field of choices from
which to select.

12. Culture – Health/Peace
The way in which conflict is defined, perceived,
responded to, and managed is culturally
embedded or that there is a “culture of conflict”
(Fisher, 2001, p. 18) in each society, there is also
a culture of peace. Thus, peace is defined,
perceived, responded to, and managed within a
society.

16. A Perspective on Peace and
Violence
“Just as a coin has two sides, one side alone being only
one aspect of the coin, not the complete coin, peace
also has two sides: absence of personal violence, and
absence of structural violence. We shall refer to them as
negative peace and positive peace respectively”(p. 183).
Galtung, J. (1969). Violence, peace, and peace research. The Journal of Peace
Research, 6, 167-191.
17. Galtung & Cultural Violence (1990)
“Cultural violence”: “those aspects of culture, the symbolic sphere
of our existence ─ exemplified by religion and ideology, language
and art, empirical science and formal science (logic, mathematics) ─
that can be used to justify or legitimize direct or structural
violence” (p. 291).
Cultural violence makes direct and structural violence look, even
feel, right ─ or not wrong. The evidence of structural violence
exists in western countries not meeting every day basic needs
(clean water, health care, education) of some resident minority
populations.

23. Decolonizing Research?
“Not
necessarily post-colonial research. Decolonization
is a process that critically engages, at all levels,
imperialism, colonialism, and postcoloniality.
Decolonizing research implements Indigenous
epistemologies and critical interpretive practices that
are shaped by Indigenous research agendas” (Smith,
1999, p. 20).

by and for Indigenous Peoples,
using techniques and methods drawn
from the tradition and knowledges of
those people” (Evans, Hole, Berg,

Methodologies, Denzin, Lincoln, Smith,
2008)
25. The Assertion
Similar to Indigenous research (Wilson, 2008) and Indigenous Philosophy (Turner,
2006), Indigenous peace building must leave behind dominant paradigms (Wilson,
2008) and follow an Indigenous paradigm for building peace based on the Indigenous
worldview often defined in literature as “holism”.
“Clearly, peace studies must begin to pursue holism as the framework, process
as the primary method, and peace in its widest sense as the goal, if it is to
energize the intellectual transformation necessary to a paradigm of peace”
(Reardon, 1992, p. 402).
Research and the research process, when viewed through the Indigenous worldview,
is in fact a peace building process.
For Indigenous Peoples, peace and peace building are not applied only when conflict
occurs. It is a lived, continuous process of applying balance and harmony to all
aspects of one’s life (Rice, 2005; Alfred, 1999). Process must reconnect Indigenous
peoples to their traditional physical environment.
26. Key Assumptions
For Indigenous Peoples, peace and peace building is not a separate process to be applied when
conflict occurs. It is a lived, continuous process of applying balance and harmony to all aspects
of one’s life. It is embracing complexity and change as constant, and analyzing the patterns of
change to understand how it is connected to every aspect of our lives (Bopp, Bopp, Brown, &
Lane, 1985). Inherent in this lens is learning;
In Indigenous contexts, land and the health of the land are intimately linked to the health of the
people. Thus, if the land is unhealthy, the people are unhealthy and vice versa;
In Indigenous contexts, peace can only be achieved with external groups once peace is achieved
within. This can equally be applied within an individual, a family, a community, a nation, or
internationally;
In Indigenous contexts, historical connection to the land is essential for community health.
Rediscovering these connections through development of a community narrative about the land
will increase resiliency and facilitate community health. A healthy Indigenous community is
predicated on a strong attachment to the land;
Action research can be used as a culturally congruent process for peace building in Aboriginal
contexts.
