In Part 1 one of this Peace Talks Radio program, we explore the connection between attention, digital life, and psychological well-being with Dr. Gloria Mark - a professor in the Computer Science department at UC Irvine and author of the book Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity. Dr. Mark has spent decades researching how technology shapes our attention. She explains that our attention is a limited resources and shares practical steps we can take to reclaim it—in our lives, our work, and our relationships.
In Part 2 - student voices on peace. We talk with fourth graders who are just beginning to think about what peace means in their lives, and high school students deeply engaged in diplomacy and global problem-solving through their Model United Nations program.We also hear from a classroom teacher who shares how she manages conflict among students day to day, helping them learn empathy, accountability, and repair. What can we learn about peace—at school, at home, and in the world—when we listen to the next generation?
