20th Annual
Peace Studies Conference
a project of the Central New York Peace Studies Consortium

SUNY Cortland

November 1, 2008

Theme:
Resisting War, Educating for Peace

The CNY Peace Studies Consortium’s annual conference in 2008 will be part of a larger four-day conference of the Concerned Philosophers for Peace.

Since its inception in 1981, Concerned Philosophers for Peace [CPP] has become the largest, most active organization of professional philosophers in North America involved in the analysis of the causes of war and prospects for peace. The organization holds an annual conference as well as programs at each divisional meeting of the American Philosophical Association. The forthcoming Cortland conference invites papers in any area of war resistance and peace education. Submissions are also invited addressing other topics related to the causes of war and the prospects for peace.

CPP publishes a newsletter, and many of the conference papers have been published in various anthologies. Further information is available on the CPP website: http://benezet.org/phpnuke/; the list server can be accessed by contacting Barry Gan at bgan@sbu.edu; and membership information is available from David Boersma at boersema@pacificu.edu.

The conference is co-sponsored by the Center for Ethics Peace and Social Justice, SUNY Cortland and the M.K. Gandhi Institute, Rochester University.

Presenters will be invited to submit papers for peer-reviewed inclusion in the Peace Studies Journal.

Please send an abstract of your proposal by September 1, 2008 [not more than 300 words] to:
