Jonathan Rudy<\/strong>, Peacemaker in Residence with the Center for Global Understanding and Peacemaking, participated in a weeklong residency at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, with his brother Paul Rudy (Curators\u2019 Distinguished Professor and coordinator of composition at the University of Missouri at Kansas City). The program, \u201cImagination, Creativity and Process: Art-making and Peacemaking in the Nooks and Crannies of Our Lives,\u201d brought together music, studio art, international studies and the Denison living\/learning center. The living\/learning center, called the Homestead, is a rustic student living situation in a rural setting that focuses on sustainable living and activism. The professors presented individual talks and joint presentations and developed a project with the Homestead students. A Mellon grant received by Denison University to facilitate inter-departmental collaboration funded the program.<\/p>\nFEBRUARY 2018<\/h6>\n
