The Wisconsin Institute is a unique and vital consortium of private and public colleges and universities dedicated to enriching academic and public discourse on issues of peace and conflict. The Institute is non-partisan and encourages debate and discussion of multiple perspectives, not only of foreign policy issues and global areas of conflict, but also of intercultural communication, gender relations, and environmental sustainability. At a time when virtually all institutions are seeking to internationalize and/or globalize their curricula and co-curricular programs, the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies (WIPCS) is a statewide resource available to help.

Our activities include:

• Speakers Program
• Fall Faculty Conference
• Spring Student Conference
• Journal for the Study of Peace and Conflict
• Annual Distinguished Faculty and Student Awards
• Cooperative Research, Faculty Development, and Curriculum Consulting

We very much appreciate the support and involvement of our member institutions listed to the left and welcome all Wisconsin colleges and universities to join us. Please contact me for more information.

I would like to welcome UW-Stout, our newest member, and thank the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for hosting our office and Web site.
