| Name | lars jorgensen |
| Welcome to our community: How do you define PEACE? | Peace in a society requires sensible rules and norms of behavior, that the people live by. Violence is generally not accepted and at least kept at a minimum by sensible education, communication and peaceful values. |
| How did you find this community? | Through Jan Öberg's page on Facebook. |
| Do you have any professional experience in the field of peace-research? peace-studies? peace-practice? | I am a sociologist of education. I have worked as a research assistent in different areas and I have taught student sociology as a science for years. When you do your best to act responsibly and dedicated – no matter what area you are working in – you reduce violence and suffering in society. This idea is very much inspired by Wittgenstein’s concept of ethics. |
| Are you at all familiar with concepts of Nonviolence and Conflict Transformation? | I am familiar with some of Johan Galtungs work and Gandhi’s and the American Civil Rights movements inspirational ideas and practice. |
| What are your primary conceptual interests and concerns | Sociology of Power, Politics and Education – And Epistemology of Science |
| What is your main regional focus? | Dänemark |
| Languages | Danish, English, French and German. |
| CV | I was assistent Professor at VIA University College Denmark from 2008-2014. I have quit my job for a while in order to write some articles and a book or two. I graduated as a sociologist – Cand. Scient. Soc. – in 2000. I have learnt sociology by studying Pierre Bourdieus work for almost twenty years now. |
