American University announced the establishment of the Abdul Aziz Said Chair in International Peace and Conflict Resolution at the School of International Service (SIS). SIS Professor Mohammed Abu-Nimer was selected to serve as the inaugural chair holder to advance the development and adoption of faith-informed peace interventions.“It’s very meaningful for me to be the inaugural chair,” said Abu-Nimer. “I shared a journey with Professor Said for over 22 years since I joined AU. We worked together very closely, sharing many ideas and the values and views on building [programs] and supporting diversity and inclusion both in our own AU community and in conflicts around the world. It’s an exciting and honorable occasion for me.”
