The Consortium for Peace Studies (CPS) at the University of Calgary is an interdisciplinary organization devoted to enhancing teaching and research in the field of peace studies. Our membership includes individuals from eleven university faculties, as well as other academic institutions, individuals involved in practical peace work and organizations who partner with us to achieve our goals. Peace Studies researchers are concerned with war and peace, human security to meet basic human needs, violence and nonviolence, conflict and conflict resolution as well as post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation. Research takes place at all levels, from the macro-level examining international peace issues, to the micro-level examining internal conflict and peace in the individual.

The CPS unites peace researchers in many fields of study. Through international research, publication, public presentations and celebration of peace activists, the CPS strives to promote peace studies and educate the community about peace work.
