Reading: Reba J Parker: The Peaceability Mindset
About The Peaceability Factor:
Is Peace Possible? Absolutely—If You Know How to Create It. Sociology professor and peace advocate Reba Parker has asked her students one simple question: "Is peace possible?" Most respond with doubt, citing outdated notions of peace as the absence of conflict or a relic of the past. But what if peace could be reimagined as a modern skillset with measurable benefits in your life? In The Peaceability Factor, Reba Parker redefines peace for the 21st century as a practical and deeply personal process. By blending peace science with personal development, she introduces the Peace Equation—Safety + Wellbeing + Interconnectedness—and Seven Peaceability Factors to help you cultivate peace in yourself and your community. The Peaceability Factor turns peace into a doable daily practice—one that starts with you and ripples outward to transform the world.
Reba Parker is a sociology professor, peace advocate, and community organizer with over 25 years of teaching experience. While teaching at the College of Charleston and The Citadel, she co-founded a community nonprofit that led citywide peace initiatives. Reba has earned awards like the Distinguished Adjunct Faculty Teaching Award and holds certifications in peacebuilding from Eastern Mennonite University and Notre Dame. She lives in Portland, Oregon, dividing her time between tending her vineyard, gathering weekly with her beloved writer's group, and cherishing moments with her family and dogs.
