Art,
Do you know about the Wisconsin Institute for Peace/Conflict Studies?
Not *too* many years ago the UWS Women's Studies programs held a joint
conference with them. Anyway--UWEC is listed as a member organization.
Their home page is at
http://www.uwsp.edu/history/WIPCS/WIPCS1.htm
And here's their mission statement, from the website at
http://www.uwsp.edu/history/WIPCS/missionstatement.html
Mission Statement:
The mission of The Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict
Studies is to encourage and legitimize teaching and research on the
roots of violence, on national and global security issues including
ecological security and on all factors necessary for a just global peace
in the post-Cold War world. The Wisconsin Institute is receptive to
study and teaching which proceeds along both traditional and
nontraditional lines and provides a forum where all viewpoints may be
expressed and contemplated. Dedicated to enabling scholars, teachers,
and the public to improve and make more sophisticated their
understandings of war, peace, justice, and environmental issues, the
Institute does not prejudice judgment about these issues with a
particular ideology.
WIPCS was founded in 1985 as a nonprofit, non-stock corporation
under Chapter 181 of the Wisconsin statutes.
Hope this proves helpful.

Subject: Peace curriculum
Hi. A local draft counselors group to which I belong is planning to
initiate work with area teachers to try to build peace teaching into
K-12 curricula. Do any of you know of appropriate already-existing
curricula?--stand-alone curricula or easy-to-implement info on
integrating peace studies with existing curricula? Something free or
cheap would be nice. Please email me with any info you might have.
Thanks much.
Art Lyons
