Free Educational Resources for Students and Teachers Exploring More Constructive Approaches to Intractable Social Conflicts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You might be interested in an update on the many free resources currently available from Beyond Intractability.org — the website of the Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base Project. This system, which focuses on society's most difficult and dangerous conflicts, includes over 3000 pages of material written with the help of more than 250 experts.
While everything is freely available, we are asking users who can afford it to make a small donation to defray the cost of system operation. Now that the Hewlett Foundation (which funded the creation of Beyond Intractability) has withdrawn from the field, we are depending on these small contributions to keep the system operating. More information can be found on our "Guidelines for Using the System" page (marked as 12 on the highlighted home page):

We'd also really appreciate any help you could give us in publicizing the system's availability (by forwarding this e-mail to potentially interested colleagues and students, for example) or sending us suggestions of people and organizations who we should contact.
