The Trinity Tripod student newspaper at Trinity College published an article by Paul Lauter on Feb. 26, 2024 where he looks back at the PEACE conference, decades later. Lauter writes, "Way back in June, 1964, I organized a conference on Teaching About Peace Issues, held at NYU’s Bronx campus, now Bronx Community College. I wanted to make peace research and teaching about peace kosher on campuses still anxious from the impacts of Cold War McCarthyism. Sharing information, especially syllabi and bibliographies about how to teach peace studies, constituted one practical objective of the conference. But more fundamentally, we wanted to examine assumptions about the supposed disinterestedness of academic study and research."
