Welcome to the Consortium for Peace Studies
The Consortium for Peace Studies at the University of Calgary is an interdisciplinary organization on campus devoted to enhancing teaching and research in the field of peace studies. Our membership encompasses individuals from ten university faculties, as well as individuals from other academic institutions, individuals involved in practical peace work and organizations who partner with us to achieve our goals. Peace Studies researchers are concerned with war and peace, human security and meeting basic human needs, violence and nonviolence, conflict and conflict resolution. Research takes place at all levels, from the macro-level examining international peace work, to the micro-level examining internal conflict and peace in the individual.
The Consortium for Peace Studies at the University of Calgary unites peace researchers in all fields of study. Through international research, publication, public presentations and celebration of peace activists, The Consortium for Peace Studies at the University of Calgary strives to promote peace studies and educate the community about peace work and about the possibilities for peace.
Our mission: The Consortium for Peace Studies at the University of Calgary is dedicated to reducing the human and environmental cost of violence through outstanding scholarship, applied research and education in peace studies, by fostering partnerships for a secure, healthy and creative global environment.
