Lisa Worth Huber is a passionate advocate for peace and social justice. In her work at universities, elementary schools, hospitals, and homeless shelters, and with youth at risk and recent immigrants, she incorporates the arts as a path to empowerment. She uses a range of methods—from theater, storytelling, poetry, and personal narrative to comic books and graphic novels—to nurture compassion as a means to transform conflict. Trained in many forms of dialogue and mediation, she brings these community-enhancing skills to all aspects of her work. Now completing her doctorate in Peace Studies, Lisa has spent the past five years researching narrative methods that develop empathy, shift worldviews, and foster understanding.
