information.

PRASI involves an extensive network of people from many backgrounds. PRASI is distinguished by the diversity of its founders, leadership, and participants, in terms of approaches to practice, intellectual orientations, and professional background as well as identity. We welcome ideas and energy.
PRASI conducts symposia and initiates research projects on questions of concern to the field of conflict resolution, particularly issues of multiculturalism and research needs.
In summer 2010, PRASI is inviting all networkers to rest, restore, and relate with friends at a place to be decided. If you have a favorite "camp" site, let us know. Also drop us an email to tell us you're interested in coming.
