The conference marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday/ Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland. It centers the often-overlooked efforts that operate at the intersections of gender, class, transitional justice and peace-building. For the first time, 20 working-class women from cross-community grassroots organizations in Northern Ireland, will travel to Boston to be in dialogue with students, scholars, practitioners, members of civic society, and the extended Irish and Northern Irish community. Our focus is to encourage the development of new and mutually beneficial relationships that will extend beyond the conference.
