Queen Noor will be speaking about her work in global conflict prevention, resolution and recovery at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 2 at UC Irvine. She’ll  be addressing topics of gender, poverty and socio-economic diversity, while focusing on the commonalities of people, rather than the differences. The discussion will be moderated by  Dalai Lama Scholar, Armaan Ahmed Rowther, as well as UCI Chancellor Michael V. Drake and Kelly Thornton Smith founder of Center for Living Peace.
