The PEACE HISTORY SOCIETY invites proposals for its biennial international conference hosted by Gwynedd Mercy University in a hybrid format blending on-site and virtual presentations, exhibitions, and events from October 26 through October 28, 2023. The conference theme recognizes peace as an active process often expressed through dissent and protest rather than a passive condition signifying an absence of physical violence. It refers equally to nonviolent protest across a range of justice movements and to direct actions in support of peace and justice. Panels and papers that address this theme through various formats (traditional, roundtables, posters, lightning rounds, teaching workshops, etc.) may examine topics set in previous eras or bring the past into the present by exploring ways that current movements have drawn upon earlier examples of protest for inspiration, symbolism, or methods.

Applicants should send proposals for individual papers or a panel (limit of 250 words per paper) and a one-page CV for each participant to phs2023@peacehistorysociety.org by March 1, 2023. Proposals should indicate whether applicants intend to participate remotely and the reasons for doing so. Each applicant whose proposal is accepted will be expected to contribute further to the conference experience by chairing a session, commenting on papers, or some other service.
