Initiatives for Peacebuilding

Victoria’s first Rotary Peace Scholar Dr. Tania Miletic has kept up her peacebuilding theme ever since District 9800 sent her to two years’ MA studies at Tokyo’s Rotary Peace Centre at ICU in 2002, with a scholarship funded by a grant from The Rotary Foundation.  She is now the Assistant Director of the University of Melbourne's Initiative for Peacebuilding within the Arts Faculty, working to promote multidisciplinary research, teaching and policy development that supports effective engagement in conflict prevention and peacebuilding in the Indo Pacific region. She is an experienced peace and conflict studies academic and practitioner with a commitment to working collaboratively to translate research into policy and practice in conflict prevention and peacebuilding in the Indo Pacific region.

Tania is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences. In Rotary Foundation Month, Tania will be joined by District 9800 Foundation Committee member Gabe Hau, who leads the D9800 Peacebuilder Program.
