Wednesday 21 September is United Nations International Peace Day, marked this year by a lecture from the recipient of the Carnall Peace Award for 2022, Professor Paul Rogers.

Professor Rogers is Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies and International Relations at Bradford University and is a regular commentator on global security issues in both the national and international media.

He will present his lecture, “Global Peace and Security After Ukraine”, at 18:30 at the Augustine United Church in Edinburgh.

The lecture will be followed at 19:15 by a panel discussion and Q and A with Professor Rogers, who will be joined by:

Yurii Sheliazhenko, executive secretary of the Ukrainian Pacifist Movement and Board member of World Beyond War (on zoom from Kyiv) and

Vijay Prashad, Director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, Editor of Leftworld Books and a fellow at Renmin University of China. (on zoom from Chile).

The Q and A will be moderated by Professor Christine Bell, co-director of the Global Justice Academy and director of PeaceRep at the University of Edinburgh.

The discussion will focus on the geopolitical implications of the crisis in Ukraine.

“In a world where war in Europe creates hunger in Africa, where a pandemic can circle the globe in days and reverberate for years, where emissions anywhere mean rising sea levels everywhere, the threat to our collective prosperity from a breakdown in global cooperation cannot be overstated. … The root cause of what we face today is the war. And it is the war that must end.”

– Kristaline Georgieva, International Monetary Fund Managing Director, April 2022
