Join us at ACR-GNY's 24th Annual ConferenceCartographies of Conflict: Mapping New Pathways to Resolution The 2025 ACR-GNY Annual Conference will explore the spatial and conceptual landscapes of contemporary conflict resolution. Just as cartographers once mapped uncharted territories, today’s conflict resolution practitioners must chart new routes through increasingly complex disputes. Through innovative frameworks and methodologies, we will examine how traditional approaches to conflict resolution can be reimagined as dynamic, multidimensional maps illuminating the topography of human discord and reconciliation while revealing alternative paths to peace.
