Welcome
The Bahá’í Chair for World Peace at the University of Maryland is an endowed academic chair dedicated to studying and applying innovative approaches to peace in fields such as human security, peace education, conflict resolution, international development, and spiritual awareness. Inaugurated in 1993, the Baha'i Chair engages in a wide range of activities. It conducts and publishes research, designs and teaches courses, organizes seminars and conferences and serves as an interdisciplinary forum for the expression of a broad range of views. For an overview of the Chair’s current activities, click here.
The Chair’s work, which has emphasized qualitative approaches to the study of peace, assumes that all legitimate forms of human expression have a role to play in producing understandings that lead to peace. In addition, the Chair initiates public forums for discussing the issues proposed in the statement The Promise of World Peace.
As you navigate through the website, we hope you’ll find items of interest to assist in your own explorations and studies of the possibilities of world peace.
