Peace History Society |
The Peace History Society was founded in 1964 to encourage, and coordinate national and international scholarly work to explore and articulate the conditions and causes of peace and war, and to communicate the findings of scholarly work to the public. Members of PHS seek to broaden the understanding of and possibilities for world peace. The membership includes anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists, and other scholars and students of movements for peace and social justice, international and military affairs, transnational and cross-cultural analyses, and literary studies. Many members teach related course in colleges, universities, or secondary schools; others are students, peace activists, and the interested public. Drawn not only from North America but from around the world, members are concerned with making peace research relevant to the scholarly disciplines, policy makers, and to their own societies. We are thrilled to announce the latest publication in the American Historical Review (AHR) - a special section called the AHR History Lab featuring the following articles under the theme of "How to Make Peace with History While Making History with Peace”: "How to Make Peace with History While Making History with Peace," by Susanne Schregel, Charles F Howlett, Christian Philip Peterson “For Peace or Against War? Rethinking Our Understanding of American Peace Advocacy,” by David L. Hostetter and Charles F. Howlett “The Revolutionary Potential of Peace History,” by Michael Goode and John Smolenski “Life-Affirming Endurance: Iran’s Long Feminist Struggle,” by Catherine Z. Sameh “Peace and the Environment: A More-Than-Human Perspective,” by Toshihiro Higuchi “Forum on Scholarship and Peace Activism,” by David Cortright, Van Gosse, Margaret Power, Shelley E. Rose, Emily Rubino, and Lawrence S. Wittner This collection of articles marks a significant moment for peace history within the AHR. According to Chuck Howlett, only one other piece on peace history has ever appeared in the journal since its inception - Charles Chatfield’s contribution in the December 1970 issue. We encourage you to explore these insightful articles and join the conversation about peace history. We’d like to extend our gratitude to Susanne Schregel, Chuck Howlett, and Christian Peterson for their outstanding role in organizing this fantastic section.
