Education 794J - S-Learning Post-Conflct Settin

This course takes a multi-dimensional approach to conflict and learning, with a focus on international settings, welcoming participants with both domestic and international interests. Participants examine the current practices and policy issues associated with education in post-conflict situations, including the interface between new external forces and the conventional demand for education, and the relationships among education, human rights, gender, development, cultural change, and peace-building. Participants also integrate insights into the deeper origins of violence, the functioning of complex systems, the personal and social dynamics of healing, and new agendas for innovative approaches to human learning. Such integration is developed through collaborative projects and case studies of conflict situations.
