Warfare, Environment, Social Inequality and Peace Studies (WESIPS) Conference
May 29, 2015
|
Winthrop University and James Madison University
Seville, Spain
Over millennia, warfare, environmental degradation, and social inequality have brought much suffering to humankind. Historically, scholarly attempts at understanding the nature of these problems have been conducted through the prisms of their respective disciplines. In order to facilitate interdisciplinary cross-fertilization, this conference brings together a cadre of internationally recognized scholars to address the underlying causes of warfare, environmental degradation, and social inequality from a host of interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives. The coming together of a diverse set of scholars sets the stage for the cumulation of knowledge. The symposium also seeks to uncover effective solutions which foster peace, altruism, cooperation, social equality, and sustainable use of natural resources. The University Press of Florida has expressed an interest in reviewing papers presented at the WESIPS Conference for possible publication.
