This conference seeks to bring together histories of peace movements that place the decolonizing world at the center and emphasize the role of activists from Africa, Asia, and Latin America as key actors in shaping global peace advocacy. We welcome contributions that move beyond the focus on the Cold War and Euro-American experiences of peace internationalism, by foregrounding the challenges and opportunities posed by decolonization in the building of international coalitions for peace. Deadline for contributions: March 9, 2026.
