CFP: Mridha International Peace Symposium

The Mridha International Peace Symposium, happening June 8-9, 2023 in Saginaw, Michigan, is seeking papers on peace and its effect on the individual, the family, the community, and the planet. The Symposium welcomes submissions that seek to illuminate the discussion and evolving perspectives on peace, nonviolence, and conflict resolution in contemporary society.

Submissions from professionals in the areas of philosophy, sociology, political science, psychology, and related disciplines are welcomed. Papers can explore ideologies related to peace within oneself (private peace); between family members and other close relationships (personal peace); at school, work, and the community (public peace); and among all cultures and backgrounds (planetary peace). New areas of study, as well as re-evaluation of established areas of study, are welcomed and encouraged.     

The Mridha International Peace Symposium is the inspiration of Dr. Debasish Mridha, a physician / philanthropist / philosopher and author whose thoughts have been shared by millions of people throughout the world. Dr. Mridha is the founder of the Mridha International Institute of Peace & Happiness (MIIPH), a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing peace education to communities throughout the world.
