Elise M. Boulding (/ˈbldɪŋ/; July 6, 1920 – June 24, 2010) was a Norwegian-born American Quaker sociologist and author, seen as a major contributor to creating the academic discipline of Peace and Conflict Studies. Her holistic, multidimensional approach to peace research sets her apart as an important scholar and activist in multiple fields.[citation needed] Her written works span several decades and range from discussion of family as a foundation for peace, to Quaker spirituality, to reinventing the international "global culture". Particularly of note is her emphasis on women and family in the peace process. Boulding was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 1996.[1]
