In this episode, hosts Molly Buckley Marudas and Shelley Rose welcome Dr. Lana Mobydeen, Assistant College Lecturer in Political Science at Cleveland State University. Together, they explore how conflict resolution, human rights education, and community engagement intersect to create peaceful coexistence in classrooms and beyond. Dr. Mobydeen shares how she bridges theory and practice through experiential learning, including mock trials, refugee resettlement collaborations, and service projects like Lift Up Vikes and the CSU Food Pantry. Listeners hear how she empowers students to connect global human rights issues with local action, from understanding homelessness as a human rights challenge to engaging directly with legal and social systems. The conversation delves into the deeper roots of sustainable peace, empathy, awareness, and seeing the world through another’s eyes and how educators can nurture these skills in their teaching. With insights into research literacy, media awareness, and hands-on pedagogy, this episode highlights the transformative power of learning that connects law, ethics, and lived experience. Learn how Dr. Mobydeen’s approach helps students become informed advocates for justice and peace in their communities.
