Profile Information
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- Tony Jenkins is Education Director of the National Peace Academy and serves as the Global Coordinator of the International Institute on Peace Education; Co-Director of the Peace Education Center at Teachers College, Columbia University; coordinator of the Global Campaign for Peace Education; and a regular visiting professor at the UN mandated University for Peace in Costa Rica. In 2006, collaborating with colleagues and peace educators from around the world, Tony conceived and launched “Community-Based Institutes on Peace Education,” or CIPE. CIPEs are communities of formal and non-formal educators who learn with and from each other to address and transform local manifestations of violence through education and active citizen participation. Successful CIPE communities have thus far been established in Colombia, India, Peru, Mindanao in the Philippines, Tanzania, and Ukraine. Tony’s current work and research interests focus on examining the impacts and effectiveness of peace education methods and pedagogies in nurturing personal, social and political change and transformation. He is also interested in formal and non-formal educational design and development with special interest in alternative security systems, disarmament, and gender.
Among his recent publications are “A Peace Education Response to Modernism: Reclaiming the Social and Pedagogical Purposes of Academia” in Educators as Peacemakers: Transforming Education for Global Peace (2008) edited by Jing Lin and Christa Bruhn; “Disarming the System, Disarming the Mind” in Peace Review (2006); and co-authored with Betty Reardon “Gender and Peace: Towards an Gender Inclusive, Holistic Perspective” in the Handbook of Peace and Conflict Studies (2007) edited by Johan Galtung and Charles Webel.

- So you've met Dr. Danesh and Naghmeh already - great! We have a long and dear history together from even before the first days of EFP in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I will be meeting Naghmeh in Germany next weekend, so I can mention to her that we have met here. She sometimes collaborates with Krister Lowe who did a PhD in Psychology at Teacher's College and was involved in some research on the EFP project in BiH. You may have met some time as well. Anyway, here's a link to an article I published in 2005 which relates to the EFP conceptual framework and BiH work: http://www.efpinternational.org/publications/Education_for_Peace_Case_Study.pdf . Dr. Danesh and I have co-authored a number of Education for Peace curriculum and student manuals based on this framework as well. If you interested, I can send some info to your email. Please feel free to share articles with me that you think I might benefit from reading! Best wishes, Sara

Ben Fox said… - Hi Tony,
Actually, I'm in Istanbul right now, working on some field research for my PhD. I plan on being back in NYC in June, although I am applying for an internship in D.C. over the summer. I work with a friend of mine in a startup consulting group. She has Asperger's as well, and we are providing consulting to schools and organizations in NYC. Right now we are working on a partnership with the Brooklyn Center for Independence of the Disabled to help set up a Parent Resource Center, and doing a lot of workshops for families and educators there, so I plan on being pretty active in New York when I go back. What school does your girlfriend work at?

- Hi Tony, Nice to meet you here. I am familiar with the good work you and your colleagues are doing. You might be interested in some of the materials we've developed at EFP-International. They approach the challenge of peace education through a unique conceptual framework. I'd be interested in your views... Best wishes, Sara

Many thanks for making the connect. Interesting work focus. I spend a lot of my effort in the exploration of Indigenous pedagogy through oral performing cultures. Most recently, this was through the "Dreaming" process, the masterclass of which was launched in the UK to an over-subscribed class, so it was great to see the interest in this methodology and how it can translate cross borders and cultures.
Peace
Sam
