The Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA) has officially released the 2026 Conference Call for Papers — and submissions are now open!

We invite scholars, graduate students, activists, educators, and community organizers to submit proposals that engage critical questions of peace, justice, equity, and transformative change. Our 2026 conference will be hosted by the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University. PJSA conferences are known for their interdisciplinary dialogue, vibrant community, and commitment to scholarship that matters in the world.

Whether your work explores conflict transformation, decolonial approaches, gender justice, environmental justice, human rights, or innovative pedagogies — this is a space where critical ideas meet collective action.
