The Summer Peacebuilding Institute is the interface between applied research, field work, and academic work. SPI provides specialized, intensive courses that are of specific benefit for practitioners working in situations of protracted conflict. The courses may be taken for academic credit or for professional training. SPI attracts between 150-200 participants from more than 40 different countries each year. EMU hosts SPI participants for six weeks in May and June of each year, during which time 15-20 courses are offered. Many MA and Graduate Certificate students enroll in SPI classes, particularly those students who are pursuing a degree in a limited-residency format. SPI is designed to minimize the need for students to be away from their job and community for long periods of time. See http://www.emu.edu/cjp/spi/ for more information. In response to the pandemic, SPI moved online in 2020 and 2021 and we developed online training only courses were offered during mid-winter 2021 and 2022. SPI returned to meeting on campus for SPI 2022 and we plan to continue offering online courses at other times during the year, and offered both in-person and online courses during SPI 2023.
