 Fletcher Perspectives

Fletcher Perspectives Debut Issue!


Fletcher Perspectives is here! This first edition celebrates the diversity of the Fletcher community in both a written journal and in photography and crafts. Please visit a sampling of our exhibits and commentary at www.fletcher.tufts.edu/perspectives. Many of the photos displayed can be purchased as prints at $10 for a 5”x7” and $20 for an 8”x10”; journals cost $5 each. Consistent with our goals as members of the Fletcher Community, all profits will be donated to charity. This year we have chosen to support rehabilitation efforts for the Sudanese and Ugandan Child Soldiers.

Journal articles on culture, gender and religion were submitted from the Fletcher community (students, faculty, staff and fellows) in the form of poetry, short-stories, travelogues, inspirational quotes, op-eds, recipes, descriptions of religious or cultural traditions, photography, arts and crafts. This year features articles on the making of Ukrainian Easter eggs, being a Palestinian woman, the circumcision ceremony of boys in Africa, the role of food and family, and travelogues (including one series written while traveling along one latitudinal line around the globe). In addition there are recipes, poems, inspirational quotes, and Op-Eds on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Please contact Itamara.Lochard@tufts.edu for ordering and further information.

Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University is, by definition, in both its membership and goals, a diverse representation of the beliefs, history and aspirations of the international community. Our goal is to share our diversity in a manner that not only enhances our understanding of cultural differences and similarities, but also translates this knowledge into a more peaceful and tolerant world. We believe this creative outlet can also balance the intellectual gymnastics of our work and/or studies with creativity and celebration -- essential components for imaginative and tolerant leaders in all fields relating to the global community.

Many thanks and enjoy!
