Associate Professor of Spanish Federico Pous delivered two talks in Buenos Aires in commemoration of the 50 years of the Coup d’etat that marked the beginning of the last dictatorship (1976-83) in Argentina.

Funded by an Elon Innovates Grant and promoted by the Peace and Conflict Studies Program, the training teaches mediation as a peaceful conflict resolution method.

Human rights advocate and leader of the Xinka Indigenous people from Guatemala, Sheny Lemus, along with other activists, visited Elon as part of a North Carolina tour hosted by US-based organizations Witness for Peace Southeast, the Iximché Media, and the Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala.
