Call for Student Papers! Deadline January 23rd!

Call for Student Papers
"Strategies of Peace: Transforming Conflict in the Modern World"
Notre Dame Student Peace Conference, March 30-31, 2012
Submission Deadline: January 23, 2012

The Kroc Institute is pleased to announce the 2012 Notre Dame Student Peace Conference, March 30–31, 2012 at the Hesburgh Center for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame.

Organized by Notre Dame students, this annual conference provides a space for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in dialogue on important issues related to peacebuilding and current events. The conference committee is seeking undergraduate and graduate student papers, presentations and media displays—including photography, performances and films—that explore the various approaches to building sustainable peace in the modern world.

This year’s conference is entitled “Strategies of Peace: Transforming Conflict in the Modern World.” Today, we live in a complex world characterized by globalization, shifting ideals, technological advancements and changing social relationships, and these challenges force us to approach peacebuilding more strategically than ever before. In order to combat violence and structural injustice, we must integrate established methods and traditional skills with research into innovative nonviolent solutions and with education that fosters global citizenship and mutual understanding of the rights and responsibilities of all. We believe that globalization and the rise of social networking provide unique opportunities for individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations and nations to focus both their individual and collective efforts and resources where the world needs them most. With this conference, we hope to explore the interdisciplinary nature of peacebuilding and foster dialogue about how processes at various levels of society, from local to global and from the powerful to the marginalized, can unite to increase peace.

The conference will address a wide variety of topics related to peace studies and peacebuilding, particularly those that address the challenges and opportunities posed by the complexities of the modern world. Suggested presentation topics include, but are not limited to, the following themes:

Arab Spring
Peace Negotiations
Sustainable Development
Social Networking
Conflict Transformation
Education, Cultural Understanding
Role of Media
NGOs and Third Parties
Women, Children and Conflict
Global Citizenship
Social Entrepreneurship
Nuclear Disarmament

The deadline for submission is Monday, January 23, 2012. For consideration, please submit a one-page abstract or description of the project and a separate one-paragraph biography with information on your academic interests and background. Please include a project title, the author/creator name and the school in a header on all pages. Submissions should be emailed to peacecon@nd.edu as a Microsoft Word or PDF attachment with “Submission” as the subject line. Notification of acceptance will be sent once the review process is complete.

The University of Notre Dame Student Peace Conference is sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. Funding for transportation and lodging is not available to participants or presenters, but meals will be provided and there is no registration fee. Questions may be directed to the organizers at peacecon@nd.edu.

entry-level positions for college graduates who are interested in international affairs and the UN

The Quaker UN Office

The deadline for the return of both the application and the references is February 10, 2012.  Applications received after this date will not be eligible for consideration. To download the application, please visit http://www.quno.org/getInvolved/getProgramAsst-NY.htm
The Quaker United Nations Office in New York is a program of the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) and is administered by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). QUNO’s work in New York is focused on a range of issues of interest to Friends and takes place through engagement with UN diplomats, UN staff, academics, and representatives of think tanks and NGOs. QUNO New York organizes and facilitates meetings, usually in the quiet, welcoming atmosphere of Quaker House. These meetings bring together a range of different actors, from the UN community and beyond, for informal exchanges on matters of mutual interest. Staff draw upon their work at the UN to inform constituents – Quakers and others involved in similar work – about issues of particular concern.

The permanent staff of QUNO New York consists of three UN Representatives, an Office Coordinator, and a Housekeeper at Quaker House. Day-to-day work takes place at the office in the Church Center for the United Nations, but many of QUNO’s activities and meetings in New York are hosted at Quaker House.

Program Assistants
QUNO New York funds two Program Assistants (PAs) each year to serve from September through August.  These are entry-level positions for college graduates who are interested in international affairs and the UN, and who have a commitment to Friends (Quaker) principles of peace, non-violence, and equality.  The positions provide those individuals selected with an informal extension to their education in international issues. Additionally, PAs gain the practical experience of assisting QUNO New York staff with program and administrative tasks. Past PAs have used their experience to continue on to graduate studies and careers in international affairs and other related areas.

Program Assistant Activities
The PA position begins in September, prior to the opening of the General Assembly. PAs work closely with senior program staff on QUNO New York’s core areas of focus at the UN. Time is devoted to familiarization with the program areas and tasks involved in program work. This generally includes monitoring world news and developments, attending relevant UN meetings, planning events, and writing up notes, and carrying out research. Guidance is provided through one-on-one supervision meetings and regular program planning sessions. Currently, QUNO New York works on issues related to the UN’s role in peacebuilding and prevention of violent conflict. These broad program areas focus on themes such as human and restorative dimensions of peace work, and the need to include all key stakeholders in dialogue at the UN. Work in these two areas makes reference to a number of geographic cases including Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Myanmar, and Somalia. The office also maintains watching briefs on Haiti, Afghanistan, Israel-Palestine, Iraq, as well as thematic issues such as Armed Violence and Development and Indigenous Issues. Priorities for work shift from year to year and are shaped by the needs and challenges at the UN and concerns of Friends worldwide. Staff work closely with the Quaker UN Committee, a group that includes members nominated by both AFSC and FWCC, to determine program priorities.
PAs also gain administrative experience and spend approximately one-third of their time on office tasks such as preparing mailings, filing, attending to phones, taking care of visitors and supporting the general operations of the office. PAs prepare for and participate in meetings organized at Quaker House and elsewhere. At Quaker House this involves assisting in meal preparation, hosting and serving guests, and cleaning up. They also assist in the ongoing QUNO New York program of outreach, helping to write and edit newsletters, preparing reports, and speaking to various groups about issues in and around the UN.  By participating in these activities, PAs learn firsthand how NGO's function at the UN.
Terms
Program Assistants receive a subsistence grant to help cover accommodations, food, and miscellaneous expenses.  The current rate is approximately $20,000 (US) per year.  AFSC provides health/medical insurance for the year, including coverage for physician, hospital, prescription drugs, and dental services.  Interns are responsible for making their own housing arrangements.  QUNO may be able to provide information to assist in these matters.
