Second Hour:

We’ll play 50 minutes of video of Dr. John Reuwer, Board Member of World BEYOND War, on tour earlier this year in New Zealand, and discuss it live for the last 10 minutes with John.

This talk, presented by John Reuwer, MD., was hosted by Te Ao o Rongomaraeroa | The National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Otago on February 29, 2024. Dr. Reuwer presents the vision of a World BEYOND War for creating a just and sustainable global peace through abandoning war as national policy. John Reuwer is a retired emergency physician whose practice convinced him of a crying need for alternatives to violence for resolving tough conflicts. This led him to the informal study and teaching of nonviolence for the last 35 years, with peace team field experience in Haiti, Colombia, Central America, Palestine/Israel, and several US inner cities. He has also studied and lectured in peace studies at Virginia Tech, Radford University, St. Michaels College, Elizabethtown College, The University of Vermont, and the U.S. Army War College at Carlisle, PA. He served for four months as an International Protection Officer with the Nonviolent Peaceforce in South Sudan and most recently worked tirelessly with our Ukrainian board member Yuri Sheliazhenko in Kyiv to create an unarmed civilian protection team to mitigate the danger around the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, making trips to the front line to do so. Most recently since John relocated to Washington DC with his wife Laurie from Vermont he has been involved in protests and campaigns with other organisations against the war in Gaza.
