Asia Pacific Peace Studies Institute Speaker Series

The Asia Pacific Peace Studies Institute (APPSI) at Holy Names University promotes positive peace—peace with genuine security as well as social justice and ecological sustainability—through a broad array of activities including research, dialogue and publishing, service and civic engagement. The APPSI Speaker Series represents our commitment to engaging both the campus community and the general public in our pursuit of cross-cultural understanding and positive peace. Thanks to generous support from foundations, private donors, and various HNU departments, most APPSI Speaker Series events offer free admission. Please see links below for program details.
