Summer Institute
The University of Notre Dame's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies will not be hosting a Summer Institute during Summer 2023. More information for plans for 2024 and beyond will be posted on this page as it becomes available.
The Summer Institute brings together teams of academics who want to launch peace studies programs at their colleges or universities; strengthen or develop a new dimension to peace studies programs; or move established peace studies programs to the next level of design and rigor. Since its inception, the Summer Institute has hosted 400+ attendees from over 100 different institutions—including 23 Catholic colleges and universities—across 6 continents.
Highlights:
- engage with leading thinkers on contemporary issues in peace studies practice, research, and teaching
- explore the pedagogical, administrative, and communications challenges of developing peace studies courses and programs
- collaborate with teams of faculty on course development while benefiting from the ideas and expertise of others in the field
Prior to the virtual event, attendees will be given access to a suite of educational resources from the Kroc Institute to prepare them for live sessions during the week of SI.
