Graduate Student Symposium 2026

We are pleased to invite you to attend the School of Conflict Studies 2026 Graduate Student Symposium at Saint Paul University, themed From Theory to Practice: Building Understanding in a Complex World.

This symposium showcases emerging student research in Conflict Studies and brings together undergraduate and graduate students, early career scholars, and faculty to engage in dialogue on contemporary issues of conflict, peace, and social transformation. The event provides a supportive academic space where students present ongoing or completed research and receive constructive feedback from peers and faculty, while participants have the opportunity to engage with current debates, connect with fellow researchers, and support student scholarship. An optional pre-symposium workshop will be offered to student presenters to help refine presentation skills, manage Q&A, and build confidence when speaking in public.
