OVERVIEW

The Peace Studies Program (PSP) is an interdisciplinary program devoted to research and teaching on the problems of war and peace, arms control and disarmament, and more generally, instances of collective violence. Founded in 1970 with the support of the University’s Center for International Studies and the Program on Science, Technology and Society, the Program maintains an abiding interest in issues in science and security. In addition to its long-standing interest in nuclear non-proliferation, the Program now focuses as well on the threat posed by chemical and biological weapons and on issues related to outer space surveillance. Program members are also concerned with issues such as ethnic conflict, human rights, regional security, terrorism, and international humanitarian law (laws of war). The Program is distinguished by its thoroughly interdisciplinary character and its emphasis on long-term policy issues. Both are essential for the Program’s objective of investigating the intellectual foundations of security and the preservation of peace. This commitment motivates the research and training activities of faculty and post-doctoral fellows as well as graduate and undergraduate students in the Program. In July 2006 the program received a $1.86 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to continue research and training in the area of security and technology. In addition to providing salary and research support for Kathleen Vogel (Assistant Professor, Science and Technology Studies), George Lewis (Senior Research Associate, Peace Studies Program), and Bharath Gopalaswamy (Visiting Scholar, Peace Studies Program), the MacArthur grants have supported a number of other activities. Several off-campus speakers were brought to campus to address technology and security issues and presented a talk during the program’s weekly seminar series. The program hosted four workshops during 2008-2009—“Space Security and Technol- ogy,” “Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Post-Conflict Studies: Medicalization and Criminali- zation,” “Violence, Gender, and the Cinematic Nation,” and “Classical Realism Applied”—and details of these can be found later in this report. Other Peace Studies activities in 2008–2009 focused on the Program’s central missions of supporting student and faculty teaching and research, cross-campus interactions, and off-campus outreach. Program activities included the weekly seminars, with occasional current events round- tables scheduled throughout the year as part of that series (see Appendix A for a list of these events). In addition to the Thursday seminars, the Program co-sponsored a number of speakers, symposia, and other special events with other campus groups (see Appendix C).
