In the diversity and complexity of this field, I distinguish six educational approaches that stand out: human rights, psychosocial, humanitarian aid, development, security, and reconciliation. They refer to six sets of particular and coherent assumptions regarding the reasons that originate and exacerbate conflicts, with their own answers about how to prevent, resolve, alleviate, or transform that situation – their ways of understanding peace – and the roles that the educational sector plays in the achievement of this purpose, with their pros and cons.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48535794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, student teachers, teachers and teacher educators would benefit from it being easier to find research-based knowledge of how to address conflicts in schools. Therefore, a bibliometric study was carried out on 1126 publications that were published between 1996 and 2019 in this field. The study aimed at examining publication activity, geographic spread, and dominant research topics. The findings showed a positive trend in publication output from 2006 onwards. Research output was found to be dominated by the United States. However, the results also indicated an internationalization trend expressed in an increased geographic spread of publication output. Furthermore, six research topics were identified through cluster analyses and labelled ‘peace and value education’, ‘classroom management from coercive discipline to relationship building’, ‘constructive conflict resolution’, ‘classroom management programmes’, ‘restorative justices and restorative approaches’, and ‘classroom challenges for teachers’. Within each research topic, a distinct number of publications were found that defined the core research.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43326716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It introduces the notions of human nobility and the oneness of humanity as the moral basis for holistic peace within a framework of the collective social evolution of humanity, and explores the idea of identifying, understanding, and removing barriers to unity, specifically in the form of inequalities and prejudices, as the foundation of an approach to peace education. The application of such an approach to a university level course is shared through a case study of ‘The Problem of Prejudice’, offered by the Bahá’í Chair for World Peace at the University of Maryland, College Park. Key strands of content and pedagogy are described, and qualitative data from students participating in the course in 2021 (n = 20), collected in the form of self-perceptions of changes in knowledge, skills, attitudes and commitment, are presented. The article concludes with a discussion of the learning gained from this study and how a Bahá’í concept of peace may serve as a resource for university peace educators and students.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46872853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyse the role of grassroots education actors in processes of societal transformation and peacebuilding through a gender-specific lens, to explore our contextual understanding of agency through a cultural political economy approach, complemented with insights from critical and decolonial peace education.

In this article, we illustrate how Russian female migrants in Northern Norway relate to these symbolic boundaries. Thus, perspectives from the phenomenology of the body and critical phenomenology are used to analyze qualitative data on how Russian female migrants experience the celebration of March 8, widely known as International Women’s Day, as a transnational space where they feel both belonging and non-belonging. More specifically, we explore the following research questions: How do Russian female migrants in Northern Norway use International Women’s Day as an occasion to express Russian femininity, or even Russian feminism, in their own way? And what can we, through a political-historical contextualization of these March 8 narratives, learn about the Norwegian majority and how the majority, often in subtle ways, represent women from outside the West, including Russians, as ‘the other’? It is our goal that this article will inspire readers to become more sensitive to racialization processes in our communities by becoming more aware of ‘ourselves’, and how we, through various narratives, reproduce inclusion and exclusion processes.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41608365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The part is finally concluded with Chapter 12 focusing on the procedures of child discipline and caregiver rituals. The volume’s core strength lies upon the eclectic positionality of the contributors. Seventeen authors from a wide range of geographies have contributed to this 245-page volume. More interestingly, one of the chapters (Chapter 3) is coauthored by an ex-child soldier in the civic war of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The contributors of the book have successfully provided new insights within the studies of children in peace and conflict settings, as well as the pedagogical dimensions of it. As reflected from the authors’ origins, the coverage of the book includes countries with conflict and war track records, such as those within the European and Asia Pacific territories. However, the book may have missed one (or two) thing(s): the conclusion (and the implications). While we, the readers, expect this conclusion will be presented in the last chapter (Chapter 12), as admitted by the editor himself, the chapter is rather ‘outwardly distinct from many of the contributions to this volume’ (16). The book may have been better if it provides more accounts and voices of the children from both peace and conflict settings from various contexts for comparison purposes – while the book provides only a chapter on this (Chapter 3). Despite this shortcoming, Childhoods in Peace and Conflict should be regarded as an important and novel resource in the studies about the intersections of children, conflict, and peace. The volume makes a significant contribution to the area of peace and conflict studies, including peace pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45329684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A discussion was held in a public school during the second semester of 2019 on sensitive issues in recent history. Twenty-seven students between eleven and fourteen years of age participated in the activity, corresponding to the sixth grade of primary education. The results indicate that the students are active thinkers of past events through operations such as identification and historical empathy. According to the debate, these operations unfold through the categories of family affiliation and social class from which they identify and empathise with the actors of the past and the temporal relationship with their own experience.

The main findings show that 86% of the students deem it necessary to study literary works about the American War because of the historical and documentary value they provide. A vast majority of participants (95%) would be interested in reading literary texts written by American authors to learn about the war from a transnational perspective.

This qualitative and exploratory research aims to answer the questions, what boundaries do expert teacher trainers believe that teachers in post-conflict societies encounter when brokering multiple perspectives in the classroom? Which teaching or training methods can teacher trainers use to help teachers reduce the impact of these boundaries? To advance the use of multiperspectivity in post-conflict history education and enhance history-teacher training design.

Using Knight and Wadhwa’s (2014) concept of critical restorative justice, I analyzed interviews with youth leaders and staff at one urban charter high school who strove to implement schoolwide restorative justice practices with an explicit lens toward resisting structural oppression and the schools to prison pipeline. Despite evidence of this explicit commitment, participants still tended to favor exclusionary discipline, particularly to maintain order. It may benefit leaders to anticipate the countervailing pressures they will encounter as they try to enact restorative justice practices within districts and communities that are accustomed to punishment and order as markers of ‘good’ leadership. There also needs to be a greater emphasis on the words and deeds that contribute to ‘critical restorative justice,’ since restorative justice is so often discussed as a means for reducing the schools to prison pipeline without detailed attention to how it will disrupt traditional patterns of power and discipline in school.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43681704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
