Shannon Zimmerman is a program specialist in the Center for Gender and Peacebuilding at the U.S. Institute of Peace. During her graduate studies she received a Boren Fellowship to study culture and languages in Tunis, Tunisia, where she witnessed the Tunisian Revolution and the start of the Arab Spring. Her studies focused on embedded cultural norms as they relate to conflict and human security, and the role and impact of peacekeeping missions. From 2007 to 2009, Zimmerman served as a Peace Corps youth development volunteer in Ukraine working with at risk youth to address such topics as HIV/AIDS, healthy relationships, and domestic violence. She holds a master’s in conflict resolution from Georgetown University. The monthly potlucks begin at 6:30 pm. This is an opportunity for fellowship among Quakers, attenders and fellow seekers. Bring a dish to share; family members, neighbors and friends are always welcome. For more information, see the William Penn House website. (williampennhouse.org/potlucks)
