Law students have various avenues to promote peace, including funding charitable organizations, hosting mediation clinics, and leveraging technology. A recent example is Sydney Robson, a law student, who created a children's book titled "Scrappy and the Philosopher Queens" as part of a peacebuilding project. Inspired by Professor Williams, Robson used ChatGPT to transform academic content into engaging stories for children, covering essential topics such as disarmament and justice, shown through the adventures of a dog named Scrappy.
The children's book idea first emerged during a Senior Research Associate (SRA) brainstorming session when Professor Williams challenged the students to explore creative ways to engage with peacebuilding.
With the help of ChatGPT, I used those chapters to write new, whimsical stories. Suddenly, Scrappy wasn't just a cartoon dog, she was our Scrappy, bounding across time to learn how peace is made.
The book, titled Scrappy and the Philosopher Queens, follows Williams's dog to discuss topics like disarmament, women's participation, justice, and governance.
Half-joking but also a little serious, I suggested a children's book. The idea took root as the SRAs saw it to thank Professor Williams for a transformative experience.
