We sit down with Dr. Stanley Amaladas, Director of the Mauro Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of Manitoba. Dr. Amaladas reflects on his journey from Malaysia to Canada and shares a powerful story about his citizenship interview that shaped his understanding of human rights, responsibility, and dignity.
We're exploring:
- How an uncomfortable citizenship interview became a lesson about rights, power, and responsibility
- The difference between the legal framework of rights and our human responsibility to others
- Why "who's right and who's wrong?" is often the wrong question in conflict resolution
- Dr. Amaladas' vision for continuing Arthur Mauro's dream of making Winnipeg a "cultural centre for hope"
- The importance of approaching difficult conversations with curiosity instead of judgment
- How we can speak to those in positions of power "in a way that is not tyrannical"
Dr. Amaladas brings both academic expertise in Leadership Studies and personal experience to this thoughtful discussion about what it means to lead for peace. His perspective on treating people as people first - recognizing their dignity beyond their utility - offers an important lesson for navigating today's divided world.
As Dr. Amaladas reminds us: "It's not going to come from theories or big ideas. It's going to come from people who treat people as people."
