Centre for Critical Peace Studies at UMT is a trans- disciplinary research and advocacy forum for peace scholars from around the world, especially for scholars of the Global South ( South Asia, South East Asia , Latin America, Middle East and Africa). In line with the spirit of Peace Studies, the Centre is open for all interested scholars from multiple domains and disciplines. It welcomes diverse perspectives, theoretical and methodological approaches with a focus on making a real impact on ground. The Centre aims to build an active international scholarly community that examines the problems of peace and justice from the perspective of the Global South. It aims to build stronger South-South connections and make space for the Southern perspective in International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, Security and Strategic Studies. The Centre will also serve as a forum for dialogue between North-South that focuses on issues of epistemic violence and epistemic injustice.
