Series Description
This new and innovative series will combine academic rigor and accessible prose, rendering the books appropriate for scholars, classrooms, practitioners, activists, policymakers, and even more general readership. Books in the series will focus on:
- reconceptualization and expanding peace education, looking to and drawing from communities who have been marginalized, overlooked, or forgotten;
- gender, multiculturalism, and diversity;
- positive peace/justice;
- innovative peacebuilding strategies and movements;
- the relationship between peace studies and contemporary issues (e.g., climate change, indigenous peoples’ rights);
- the relationship among disciplines within peace studies, looking at the overlap;
- interpenetration, and symbiosis that enriches our work, pushes it forward, and builds peace;
- issues in criminal justice, focusing on restorative justice
