Join Parker J. Palmer and Carrie Newcomer as they explore peacemaking in divided times with David Lamotte. David has a wide-ranging career as a singer-songwriter with a dozen albums and performances across all fifty states and five continents. He’s the author of four books, including two for children. His latest book, You Are Changing the World Whether You Like It Or Not, serves as a textbook in colleges and universities across the U.S. and in Australia. In 2009-11, David interrupted his music career to accept a Rotary International Peace Fellowship, studying International Relations, Peace and Conflict Resolution at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. His TEDx talks—Why Heroes Don’t Change the World (2024) and Music Can Help Us Understand Peace and Conflict (2017)—have been widely praised. As David writes, “It’s not naive to think you can change the world. It’s naive to think you could possibly be in the world and not change it.” Join us as we talk with a deeply engaged artist and peace-maker from whom we have much to learn.
