content: 8-13 October 2023: I attended a conference in Boston University hosted by the Arts and Sciences (Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Programme) with a delegation from Community Restorative Justice Ireland, to discuss the gendered and grassroots approaches to peace and conflict 25 years on from the Good Friday Agreement. The costs of flights (€816.12), accommodation (US$1000) and transport and hospitality (US$430) were funded through eight Communities in Transition areas and Striving Towards a Restorative Society (funded under The Executive Office).
