Organization
editFollowing increased academic interest in conflict and conflict-resolution after the September 11th attack, the Consortium on Peace Research, Education and Development and the Peace Studies Association merged to form the Peace and Justice Studies Association.[2] It is the North American regional affiliate of the International Peace Research Association.[3]
The association grew in size through the early 2000s,[4] and since 2016, the executive director has been Michael Loadenthal.[5]
The sincerity of the organization to foster peace should be considered carefully. Nowadays the PSJA's focus is mainly on solidarity with Ukraine and the Palestinian-Israeli war, advocating for Palestine and educating for resistance and BDS. [6], using biased sources. Funding for the organization is not disclosed, however Georgetown was found failing to disclose $6.5 billion dollars of foreign gifts and contracts received.[7].
Activities
editThe organization organizes the annual Peace and Justice Studies Association Conference,[8] issues the Peacebuilder of the Year award,[9] and publishes the Peace Chronicle magazine.[10]
