From: PACS Conference PACSConference@umanitoba.ca Date: Monday, December 1, 2025 at 2:50 PM To: Subject: [Call for Abstracts] 2026 Peace and Conflict Studies Conference
Hello,
We gladly invite your students and researchers to the Small Peace, Petite Love: Everyday Acts in Peaceable Communities Conference in April 17-18, 2026. The conference is hosted by the University of Manitoba's Peace and Conflict Studies Student Association and Department, in partnership with the Arthur V. Mauro Institute for Peace and Justice and other departments.
This interdisciplinary, hybrid conference invites advanced undergraduate students (honour program or thesis), graduate students, post-docs, researchers, community leaders, practitioners, and creative practitioners to explore how everyday acts shape peaceable communities.
Rooted in the understanding that peace is not only achieved through large-scale efforts but also through a lived, daily practice, this gathering seeks to nourish hope, highlight hidden stories, and amplify the voices of those engaged in creating peace at personal, communal, and societal levels.
The conference also celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the PACS Doctoral Program at the University of Manitoba, the first of its kind in Canada.
Please find details in the PDF attached, and share this opportunity with your network if possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us.
Thank you! [cid:image001.png@01DC62C6.C6B26920]
Sincerely yours, 2026 PACS Conference University of Manitoba, Treaty 1, Canada
