The Center for Peace and Conflict Studies is an interdisciplinary center devoted to conducting research on various forms of structural and direct violence and conflict and nonviolent strategies employed to resolve conflict.
Peace Week is April 9-13! Check out our events and sign up for activities now!
The Peace Center offers a host of activities connected to the peaceful resolution of conflict and the reduction of violence.
Check out the Peace Center's most recent work, Soccer for Peace and Understanding in Jordan! This project was done in conjunction with Ball State's Sports and Exercise Psychology Program, Center for International Development, Coaching Education Program, and the Sports Administration Program.
