Titled &#8220;The United Nations Decade for Peace and Nonviolence: What Do We Do?&#8221; Boulding&#8217;s lecture at Bates will offer a vision, she says, of &#8220;how we can respond to the events of Sept. 11 in a way that will break the cycle of violence, begin to deal with the underlying issues that caused it and create more peaceful relations in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States has been emphasizing unilateralism,&#8221; Boulding says. &#8220;Now what we&#8217;re learning is that we have to listen to the rest of the world, and to learn more about cooperation among states and communities in order to achieve common goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A professor emerita of sociology at Dartmouth College, Boulding is an activist well-known in the international peace movement.
