Academic Career
Dr. Barbara Tint is the Director of International and Intercultural
Conflict Resolution for the Conflict Resolution Graduate Program at
Portland State University, Oregon, USA. Her work in peace and conflict
resolution stems from her background in Political Psychology, where she
has focused largely on the psychological dynamics of international
conflict. Her Doctoral work at the University of Melbourne in Australia
explored issues of collective memory and conflict resolution within the
context of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. She has served as the Chair
of both the Feminism and Peace and the Conflict Resolution Working
Groups for the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict and Violence and
Psychologists for Social Responsibility. In 2003-2004, Dr. Tint went to
India on a Fulbright assignment to aid in the development of a Peace and
Conflict Resolution Center at the University of Madras. She has
authored articles and book chapters on a variety of topics including
dialogue, peace psychology and peace education. In addition to her
teaching, she works as a consultant, facilitator, mediator and trainer
in a variety of domestic and international arenas including Australia,
Israel/Palestine, India and Costa Rica. Her current research and writing
focus on her ongoing work around collective memory, dialogue in
inter-group conflict, peace education and culture, and the processes
involved in the development of pro-peace attitudes. Her current projects
include the design and implementation of dialogue and reconciliation
processes within African refugee communities and the exploration of
bi-communal Arab/Israeli projects in Israel.
Personal Statement
Current times, more than ever, demand new ways of engaging in
the world and with each other. We are each responsible for making
our own spheres of influence healthier and more peaceful domains.
My own release from the world of work involves spending as much time in nature as possible and in nourishing times with family
and friends, particularly, my two children.

live forever." - Mahatma Gandhi
