­­­­­­­­*Call for Papers*

*“Voices of Conscience” Conference on Antiwar Opposition in the Military*



This is a call for papers and participation in the conference “Voices of
Conscience,” which will take place at the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc
Institute for International Peace Studies May 22-24, 2018.



Scholars and students are encouraged to submit proposals for papers to
present at the conference and for consideration in a published volume.
Graduate students, PhD candidates and post-docs are particularly encouraged
to apply. The conference will be of interest to students of history, social
change, peace studies, security studies, social movement analysis, the
Vietnam and Iraq wars, and class, race and gender studies. Scholars
selected to present at the conference will receive a stipend and travel
costs for participation in the conference.



 “Voices of Conscience” will draw attention to the newly created digital
archive of ‘underground’ antiwar newspapers published by and for active
duty GIs during the Vietnam War, the GI Press Project. The conference will
feature panels on the following topics:



·         Historical perspectives and new research findings on the extent
and impact of antiwar opposition within the military during the Vietnam War,

·         Assessments of the extent and impact of antiwar opposition within
the military during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,

·         Issues or class, race and gender in military resistance
movements,

·         The role of VVAW, IVAW and other veterans’ and military support
organizations in building opposition to war, and

·         Lessons from the history of resistance within the military for
antiwar strategy now and in the future.

The purposes of the conference and planned volume are to encourage greater
understanding and scholarship on resistance within the military and provide
encouragement and support for young scholars to study this topic. A short
bibliography of published works on antiwar resistance in the military is
provided below.



Scholars and students interested in applying should submit a one-page
letter of application, a CV and a 150-word proposal/abstract of the
proposed paper and research topic. The deadline for submission of proposals
is December 15, 2017. Stipends and travel support will be available to
approved applicants. Send proposals to:
