CONTEXTS AND CHALLENGES
MINDANAO STATE UNIVERSITY-ILIGAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
15-17 OCTOBER 2015
To make sense of intractable and emerging conflicts in
contemporary societies is one of the biggest challenges sociologists
face today. Whether the context is Mamasapano or the West
Philippine Sea, an urban household or a rural village, within
Philippine institutions or cosmopolitan spaces, the 2015 PSS National
Conference aims to shed light as well as interrogate the
complexities of peace and conflict.
The conference welcomes theoretical, methodological and
empirical papers that deepen and expand our understanding of
the sociological dimensions of peace and social conflict from
various levels of analysis – household, village, region, nation, and
the world; involving different actors – individual, state and nonstate actors; and from a range of sociological perspectives. Critical
reflections from peace practitioners are also welcome.
