Benjamin Broome
|
Benjamin Broome was a senior Fulbright scholar between 1994-1996. He facilitated a group of Cypriot peace builders, which later became known as Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group. Professor Broome received his doctorate from the University of Kansas in 1980, after which he taught at the American College in Athens, Greece. From 1981-1999, he held a faculty position at George Mason University (GMU) in Fairfax. He was the first Fulbright scholar who benefited from a reversal of the program in the 90ties following a strategy developed by Daniel Hadjittofis to strengthen the support for peace building on the island.
