  to the Table -- A Curriculum Polarization is destroying our country.  We
  need to think creatively about the political community we need to address
  this crisis.  This curriculum engages you in a new way of thinking about
  this political challenge.  It does not tell you what or even how to thin
 k.  Instead\, it identifies critical questions that encourage thoughtful 
 exploration.  It draws heavily from my experiences working with Community
  Dialogue in Northern Ireland shortly after the Good Friday Agreement was 
 struck in 1998.  Here is the curriculum outline: Session 1:   - A Handsh
 ake   - Imagining a Shared Future Session 2:   - A Hostile Peace   - T
 alking Out our Differences Session 3:   - Honoring Sacrifices   - When J
 ustice Matters BIO: Byron Bland served as the Associate Director of the S
 tanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation and as a Research
  Associate at the Center for Democracy Development and the Rule of Law.  
 During his forty-year tenure at Stanford\, he was a Lecturer in the School
  of Law\, the School of Education\, and the Department of International Re
 lations as well as campus minister for the United Campus Christian Ministr
 y.  Having worked for over 25 years in Northern Ireland and over 15 years
  in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\, Byron continues his involvement in 
 both conflicts.  At the tenth anniversary celebration of the Good Friday 
 Agreement that substantially ended the conflict in Northern Ireland\, Byro
 n was one of the three Americans invited to participate in the celebration
  proceedings along with President Bill Clinton and George Mitchell.  More
  recently\, he has turned his attention toward applying what he has learne
 d from this international experience to conflicts now raging in the United
  States.
