Experiential Peace Curriculum in Morocco

Posted on June 29, 2012 at 4:30pm 0 Comments



I recently had the pleasure of leading a “global hybrid” course to Morocco.  The curriculum was experiential, in that we traveled in country (Ifrane, Fes and Rabat) to attend classes on conflict and development in Morocco, cross cultural workshops and a series of meetings at schools, youth development organizations, human rights advocacy organizations and women’s democratic groups.  Of course, we also made…

Critical Peace Education and Conflict Transformation

Posted on April 22, 2012 at 2:30pm 10 Comments

I'll be presenting on critical peace education next week at the CIES 2012 conference, arguing that critical peace education (CPE) is vital to our efforts to achieve larger scale conflict transformation.  One particular skill, collaborative problem solving, is not often described within the context of classic critical theory (Habermas 1989, Foucault 1995). Here is a key contribution of critical peace education to the project of global conflict…

Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement

Posted on February 25, 2012 at 4:46pm 0 Comments

I am currently editing a new book, Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement (forthcoming 2012 from Cambridge Scholars Publishing).  Here's a snip from the intro!  

As the field of conflict analysis and resolution continues to grow, scholars and practitioners increasingly recognize that we can learn from one another. Theory must be informed by practice and practice must draw on sound theory. Above and beyond this…

Dignity and Social Movements

Posted on January 18, 2012 at 11:00am 0 Comments

What is Dignity?  And why does it galvanize social movements? 

The more I study social movements and conflict resolution, the more convinced I become that dignity is an essential basic human need;  denied this, a social manifestation will almost always occur.  I wrote about this extensively in Land and Dignity in Paraguay, and…

Peace Economics and Occupy Wall Street

Posted on October 31, 2011 at 7:51pm 6 Comments

Everyone’s got a theory of why they believe the #occupytogether protests have sparked, and indeed now gone global.  I don’t believe we need to over-think it:  people have solid evidence that they’ve been robbed.  I thought I’d bring a bit of what we can call “peace economics” theory to the conversation to keep the conversation moving forward and hopefully focused on where to head next.  What’s most important is putting in place systems, values, laws and maybe even institutions (I suggested…

Dear Ms Cheryl

Thank you for peace connection. Excellent site features. I hope I'll learn a lot from sharing with you.

Hi Cheryl!

Thank you for replying to my request. Well, Crystina Wyler told me about you, and by reading your profile, I was happy to see a quote of Montessori! we have so much in common, I think... Peace education in schools is what I started last year all by myself, as a volunteer. I managed to convince the school board to give it a try, no money, no demands, just let's see what happens. And when I went into classes, the reply from kids was beyond expectations...i found myself giving 15+ hours a week, for the rest of the year, and kept it on this year too! it will take time, but the school declared itself a non-violent one this year, and we're heading towards creating the first mediation desk in a school here!

Dear Cheryl,

I'm sincerely honored to be a friend of yours. So thanks for the add. Considering your current commitment, I hope you can play a role to help end Angola's belligerent occupation of Cabinda since 1975, and thus end once and for all Angola's ongoing serious crimes of international concern. I wish you all the very best.

Any recommendations on how we can spread the word/stories are welcome.
