A peace of conflict is a journal about conflict and ways to transform conflict into non-violence. It’s about showing the violence around the world in its cultural, structural and direct manifestations. It’s about reflection on violence and long-winded rants about political systems, poverty, hunger and war…

It’s about people and the ways they interact. It’s also about hope. It’s about working together to discuss what we all hope for–peace. So bring your voice and help us all discover a way to a more peaceful existence.

Please no advertising in comments- they will not be posted. This is a place to express thoughts and ideas about peace and conflict– not to sell your wares. If you have a link that you feel should be included with our favorite websites below– please send it to apeaceofconflict@gmail.com and we will try our best to post it.

This publication started with funding through ASAP at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario as a hard copy bi-monthly journal co-created by Rebecca Sargent and Heather Wilhelm. It was meant to detail conflict around the world to help students in the Global Studies program understand some of the more obscure wars that were going on in the world, different conflict transformation methods and paths to peace. Not wanting to constantly waste production paper, stick to a strict publishing schedule, and be able to travel more freely around the world; the journal soon transformed into this website/blog.

This website was created, written and is solely maintained by Rebecca Sargent.
