My project, Seeking Peace Through Interfaith Dialogue, took me to 17 countries across Asia, Europe, and Africa. As I collaborated with interfaith workers and religious communities, I deepened my understandings of peace and harmony by asking these questions: How do perceptions of harmony differ across cultures? How can globalization promote or threaten peaceful plurality?
