Peace Education

Peace Education is a growing discipline around the world, theoretically and practically. It originated in and still resides among many disciplinary fields, making peace education uniquely interdisciplinary. As well, peace education is practiced at all levels of schooling but also in creative ways outside of traditional classrooms. From refugee camps to prisons to board rooms, peace education can be infused into numerous efforts to educate people. The link to them all, however, is the focus on informing and inspiring learners to create a more peaceful and just world.  

The Peace Education series aims to inform readers about the historical and contemporaneous theories, philosophies, concepts, and curricula used by peace educators at all levels and in all places. Books in the series offer helpful and interesting guides that address the potential and the challenges of implementing peace education. Further, books in the series are rigorously researched but written by practitioners, making them of scholarly and practical interest.  

The array of topics in the Peace Education series is vast because the field is so diverse. Books cover topics like teaching peace through popular culture, experiential learning strategies for peace education, qualitative research methods in peace and conflict studies, careers in peace studies, and more.
