About the lab
Studying polarization. Building the response.
The PiVoT Peace Lab (Polarization and Violence Transformed) gives students, scholar-practitioners, and academic researchers a space to study polarization and violent conflict from many perspectives.
Lab members examine why polarization has surged and how its damage can be reduced or reversed, looking for evidence-based, peace-oriented responses, including measures that support accountability for past crimes.
“
Our world is full of differences, and conflict is a natural part of life.
