Kathleen Fairchild

 Kathleen is originally from Nebraska, but her strong interest in international affairs began when she studied and traveled in Mexico and Chile in 1995 and 2001.  In 2002 she graduated with Honors from Grinnell College, with a BA in Spanish and Latin American Studies.  She then completed the MA program in International Peace and Conflict Resolution at the School of International Service at American University and the Master of Theological Studies program at Wesley Theological Seminary in May 2007.  Kathleen is continually interested in the role of faith and religion in post-conflict peace building efforts, especially in the areas of forgiveness and reconciliation.
