INTERNATIONAL PEACE RESEARCH ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (IPRA)
AOTEAROA / NEW ZEALAND | 4 - 8 NOVEMBER 2025
The Nuclear Truth Project is pleased to be travelling to Aotearoa (New Zealand) next week to attend the International Peace Research Association conference!
Celebrating sixty years since the International Peace Research Association was first founded in 1964, the 30th IPRA biennial conference in Aotearoa is the largest body of global peace researchers, students, academics and community-based practitioners.
The conference will be a gathering of inspiring thought leaders of activists, artists, community practitioners and researchers reflecting on the intersection of peace, resistance and reconciliation.
The conference takes place near Parihaka Pā, once a thriving village and the seedbed of passive resistance to colonialism within Aotearoa.
The conference begins at another special space, Ōwae Marae, located on the site of the ancient Manukorihi Pā.
The conference will then move to New Plymouth.
Taranaki is an important region of Aotearoa, as the place where the New Zealand Land wars began in 1860 between Europeans and Māori. The land holds the memory of love, pain and forgiveness.
We will be speaking in two sessions:
Plenary with Prof Emily Welty (Pace University), Dimity Hawkins (Nuclear Truth Project) and Tamatoa Tepuhiarii (University of Hamburg PhD candidate)
The plenary theme is Now More Than Ever: Nuclear justice, organizing, and what we owe each other
Workshop on the Nuclear Truth Project Protocols with Prof Matthew Bolton (Pace University), Dimity Hawkins and Tamatoa Tepuhiarii.
