Religion, Peace, and International Law: A Genealogy

This Thursday, April 1st ISERP (the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy)  is hosting a lecture by Professor Nathaniel Berman of Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies. The lecture will be held in Room 1118 of the International Affairs Building on Columbia’s campus from 4:15 to 6:00pm.

Nathaniel Berman is the Rahel Varnhagen Professor of International Affairs, Law, and Modern Culture at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies.  Berman’s scholarship focuses on the construction of modern internationalism through its relationship to nationalism, colonialism, and religion.

The Project on Security, Military, and U.S. Society fosters research and discussion about political sociological and historical intersections of U.S. civil society and security, its military and related issues.

The Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy (ISERP) is the research arm of the social sciences at COlumbia University. Its core mission is to catalyze and produce pioneering social science research and to shape public policy by integrating knowledge and methods across the social science disciplines.

Note: despite the date, this is not an April Fools joke. See you all there!

AGU25, the premier Earth and space science conference, takes place December 15-19, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year’s theme—Where Science Connects Us—puts in focus how science depends on connection, from the lab to the field to the ballot box. Once again, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Columbia Climate School scientists, experts, students, and educators are playing an active role, sharing our research and helping shape the future of our planet. #AGU25 Learn More
