Children’s Rights Upfront: Centering Children in the Quest for Sustainable Peace
The Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security focuses on preventing the recruitment of children in violence. After the Rwanda Genocide, General Romeo Dallaire realized that globally nobody was talking about why children are used in conflict and how to prevent it. The Dallaire Institute takes a holistic approach and is raising children to the top of the global peace and security agenda, changing the conversation about how we create a sustainable peace.

PAIGE BLACK, an Advocacy Officer at the Dallaire Institute, became involved at the launch at Dalhousie in 2010. She is a passionate advocate for improved policy for children at the UN, National Foreign Policy and how peace processes are built. Paige will talk about the origin of the Institute, child soldiers and lessons we can learn from their resilience. She also talks about what the world’s reaction tells us needs to change to bring justice for children whose childhoods were stolen.

Public lecture series
Originally named Special Lectures, the series was renamed in 2012 to honour the late Dr. Ken Rozee, an outstanding microbiologist, a noted university professor, historian, mentor, and friend, widely recognized for his contributions to research and teaching. A former president of SCANS, Ken was always interested in sharing his science, his love of history and his other interests with students young and old.
The name "Memorial Lectures" was changed to "Public Lectures" in 2016. These lectures serve to honour all recently-deceased SCANS members.
A list of the past public lectures held in HRM is available here.
