The Peace Studies Program supports student and faculty teaching and research, cross-campus interactions, and off-campus outreach. Program activities include our weekly seminar series, as well as other events described below.
Peace Studies Program Seminar Series
The weekly Peace Studies Program seminar is the central activity of the Program, bringing together interested individuals from all parts of Cornell University and the Ithaca community to learn about and discuss peace studies issues. When classes are in session, the seminars are scheduled for every Thursday at 12:15 pm. They are free and open to the public. See the calendar for current seminars as well as other events of interest to the peace studies community.
Conferences and Workshops
The program currently has ongoing support through a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and funding from the Einaudi Center for International Studies for workshops related to technology and security. Individual program members have also received seed grants and other awards and external funding for conferences. Learn more about recent conferences.
Study Groups and Special Initiatives
The program supports occasional special initiatives and research agendas that focus on various peace studies issues. A study group on International Humanitarian Law and Military Practices took place while LTC Isaiah (Ike) Wilson III, United States Army, was a Visiting Scholar with the program in 2005-2006. George Lewis and Kathleen Vogel have brought a number of speakers to Cornell focusing on Technology and Security issues and are working to engage Cornell scientists on security issues.
Central New York Peace Studies Consortium
Through the Peace Studies Program, Cornell is also an active member of an informal network of peace studies programs in upstate New York. The programs involved sponsor a conference series on New Frontiers in Peace Studies. These conferences have taken place at Cornell and at various campuses a short drive from Ithaca. See http://www.peaceconsortium.org.
Faculty and Student Research
The individual research interests of faculty and graduate students are included in the program’s annual reports.
