General information about the International Summer Conference

The Summer Conference brings together experienced academics, junior researchers and practitioners working in the field of education for sustainable peace and provides an opportunity to thoroughly discuss ideas, theories and methods of your work. (see the complete call for papers)

The Summer Conference primarily welcomes applications from doctoral candidates and post -doctoral scholars from the humanities and social sciences, particularly education, history, political sciences, sociology, law, anthropology, and psychology. Practitioners working for international organizations and NGOs in the relevant fields are also welcome to apply. Applications from students enrolled in a Master’s program and recent graduates with a Master’s degree will be considered in exceptional cases.

Part of the Summer Conference is a workshop organized and facilitated by the Airbel Impact Lab, which is the research and innovation arm of the International Rescue Committee (IRC). During the workshop, conference participants will use design methods and mindsets to think through practical ways of improving the impact of their work and/or increasing its application. Selected fellows this year will conduct and/or support research projects within one of two priority areas that intersect with this year’s conference theme: Educational Justice and Sustainable Peace.

All attendees of the Summer Conference will be welcome to join the workshop and will be eligible for selection to participate in this fellowship with the IRC.
