Notre Dame 2008 Annual Peace Conference: Call for Papers
Dear Friends,
The University of Notre Dame’s annual Student Peace Conference will take place on April 4-5, 2008. The conference is officially sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, and is planned and directed entirely by undergraduate peace studies students of the University.
Entitled “Bringing Peace Down to Earth”, the conference will highlight the role of individuals and grassroots efforts in the peace-building process. The conference will explore how we can take part in preventing and addressing various forms of conflict and violence.
The Peace Conference Committee welcomes undergraduate and graduate peace visionaries of all majors to submit papers, panel proposals, performances, audio-visual presentation, interactive sessions or workshops broadly exploring the conference theme.
The presentations may be completed research, research in-progress or case studies, especially those reflecting innovative practice. Generally the presentations will consist of a panel of three or four presenters with similar topics. Each presenter will speak for ten minutes and after all of the presentations are completed the floor will be opened for questions and discussion.
Presentations on additional aspects of peace-building are also encouraged.
Sub-themes could focus on, but are not limited to:
Social Responsibility
Healthcare and Global Justice
Environmental Violence
Development and Environmental Sustainability
Micro-Finance and Economic Empowerment
Economics and Structural Violence
Globalization and Peace
Role of the Media in War-Making and Peacekeeping
Role of the Mediator
Role of IOs and NGOs
Peace in Contemporary Literature
Religion and Peace-building
International, Cross-Cultural, or Inter-Religious Dialogue
Cultural Perspectives of Peace
Ethnic Conflict, Resolution, and Reconciliation
Women, Children, and Peace
Methods of Non-Violence
Submissions and/or questions may be made via email to peacecon@nd.edu. Submissions will be acknowledged within 5 days of receipt. Notifications of acceptance of proposals will be sent as soon as the reviewing process is completed, not later than February 29, 2008.
The deadline for proposals is Friday, February 22, 2008.
In peace,
Mariah Quinn and Ryane Burke
