O knihe

A volume in Peace Education
Series Editors:Jing Lin, University of Maryland,
Edward J. Brantmeier, Colorado State University, and Ian Harris, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
Currently, peace education remains marginalized in our education system, however, a
united front can be formed and powerful paradigms can empower educators to play a critical
role in peace building through scholarship, practice and activism. Indeed, educators
around the world are developing effective strategies to transform education as a powerful
force for global peace. The diverse array of contributors in the book demonstrate that
educators as peace makers can be and have been instrumental in transforming social
forces, the self and others for the construction of global peace.
The book aims to broaden the educational discourse in order to make room for new visions to educate future generations
for peace. Local and global efforts to build a long-lasting peace are presented through the lens of education.
The timeliness of peace education surely renders this book relevant to educators and the general public alike as individuals,
communities, and organizations struggle to find pathways to peace in a global world. In other words, this book will interest
scholars and the general public concerned about the building of global peace. The book can be source book for educators at
elementary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions to explore multiple ways to conduct effective peace education at all
levels of education. The book may also be used as a textbook by instructors of multicultural education, of comparative &
international education, and of undergraduate and graduate peace education courses.
