"Exploring the Power of Nonviolence"
7th Annual Conference of the
Peace and Justice Studies Association
October 8-10, 2009
Marquette University
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
~ Submit a Proposal: DEADLINE March 15, 2009 ~
Announcing a conference jointly sponsored by the Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA), the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, and the Marquette University Center for Peacemaking. This year’s conference theme is “Exploring the Power of Nonviolence,” and it will be held at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI on October 8-10, 2009 to mark the 140th anniversary of Gandhi’s birth.
Proposals are encouraged from a wide range of disciplines that address topics relevant to promoting nonviolent communities and practices. Proposals are especially welcomed addressing the nature, history, and skills of nonviolent approaches to resolving and managing conflict, as well as ones that focus on economic and environmental justice, faith communities and nonviolence, and education in nonviolence at all levels including community education.
We seek proposals for creative and dynamic workshops, panels, films, displays, and other formats. The conference will also include a focus on grassroots organizations, working with individuals and groups in the region to help develop a bridge from dialogue to action. Plenary panels, breakout groups, brainstorming sessions, and an impressive list of keynote speakers will offer multiple points of engagement and opportunities for networking with scholars, activists, and educators in the pursuit of peace and justice.
Join us in exploring these rich subjects in all their myriad forms, through the lens of historical narratives, current incarnations, and potential future applications to the struggles toward peace and justice in local settings and across the globe.
Deadline for submissions is March 15, 2009.
Proposals must be submitted using our online form. Questions can be directed to info@peacejusticestudies.org (please put “conference proposal” in the subject line).
