The 2025 theme for the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence (APA Division 48) is Resisting Oppression, Pursuing Justice.” This theme reflects the urgent need to address alarming global trends, including increasing repression of human rights advocacy, escalating threats to vulnerable populations, and the rise of authoritarian governance. These challenges highlight the critical role of peace psychologists in advancing research, teaching, practice, and activism aimed at combating these harmful dynamics and promoting equitable and just societies.
