The University of Oxford’s Centre for Peace Studies has partnered with Kisii’s Gusii Wrestling Academy (News #330) on a 3-year study into *Embodied Conflict Resolution*, launched December 12, 2025. Researchers will analyze how physical techniques like *Omonera* (safe release) translate to verbal de-escalation. The body learns peace before the mind names it, said Prof. Eleanor Reed (Oxford).
