The Association:
The CPRA - ACRP Conference, as a constituent of Congress 2023, hopes to offer a welcoming milieu for peace researchers, social scientists, teachers, as well as activists and advocates, in order to present their research as well as influence peace studies. Congress Theme: Through its Congress 2023 Theme–Reckonings and Re-Imagining’s–the Congress proposes to open a hybrid (in-person and virtual) space for dialogue. We are hoping to embrace this theme in the CPRA - ACRP’s programming, collaborate with other associations, and make many of our sessions open to all Congress participants and to the public. In the next six months, let’s work together to make the CPRA - ACRP Conference at the 2023 Congress our best yet! Our goal is to deliver a positive hybrid experience for our association’s members and attendees. The Federation team and the CPRA - ACRP team are here to support you. We look forward to providing you with all you need to make Congress 2023 a memorable experience for all involved
