Conference Teachers College, Columbia University April 16th and 17th, 2010 Calling all students, teachers, scholars,
activists, and practitioners to join in an interdisciplinary conference exploring
creative and innovative approaches to peace and justice education Conference
Description: In a time marked by a
widespread culture of violence, manifested in social inequalities, exclusion,
armed conflict and increased militarization, it is imperative that educators
create spaces for students to explore and generate new approaches to local,
national, and global problems. Now, more than ever, educators must revitalize
the tools of their trade to foster the difficult conversations that seek to
confront and transform direct, cultural and structural violence. This
conference will offer an opportunity to interact with students, academics and
educators grappling with this challenge in their day-to-day practice. The
goals for this conference are to engage educators in a process of critical
reflection regarding the role of education in perpetuating or transforming
structural, cultural and direct violence in society. For More Information Contact:
