Thanks for checking out, and bidding on, the Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA) annual online auction.

The Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA) serves as a professional association for scholars in the field of peace and conflict studies. PJSA is dedicated to bringing together academics, educators, and activists to explore alternatives to violence and share visions and strategies for peacebuilding, social justice, and social change. We host an annual meeting and conference, support research and public scholarship, and serve as a network hub for a diverse and growing academic and professional field.

Our diverse membership includes academic institutions, community colleges, colleges, university faculty, students and researchers, k-12 educators, practitioners, academics, non-profit workers and activists. We welcome all!

PJSA works to create a just and peaceful world through:

The promotion of peace studies within universities, colleges and K-12 grade levels;
The forging of alliances among educators, students, activists, and other peace practitioners in order to enhance each other’s work on peace, conflict and non-violence;
The creation and nurturing of alternatives to structures of inequality and injustice, war and violence through education, research and action.

We are a nonprofit organization formed in 2001 as a result of a merger of the Consortium on Peace Research, Education, and Development (COPRED), established in 1970, and the Peace Studies Association (PSA), established in 1987. Both organizations provided leadership in the broadly defined fields of peace, conflict and justice studies. View PJSA’s bylaws. PJSA serves as a professional association, and is the North American affiliate of the International Peace Research Association. For reasons of language, Mexico is part of IPRA’s South American affiliate. In 2013, our offices moved to Georgetown University in Washington D.C., greatly enhancing PJSA’s national and international visibility.

We hope you will bid on one of our items! The proceeds will go to a great organization that is doing important work for peace! Register and bid! it's fun and it helps us greatly!
