Dear Colleagues,

It is an honor to serve as the current Chair of the AERA Critical Peace Education Special Interest Group (SIG). The information that this transnational group provides is crucial for understanding, critiquing, and improving approaches to peace education worldwide. Indeed, its international membership not only informs readers of this SIG’s inquiries, but they also connect and partner with each other in grant acquisition, research, policy advisement, and improvement of education throughout world regions. 

Chair, SIG Critical Peace Education

The purposes of the SIG are to create a global forum for scholars from diverse backgrounds and with varied perspectives to report and critically explore educational research and promote constructive changes in the areas of peace keeping, peace making, peace building, peace education, nonviolent conflict resolution, reconciliation, mediation, and more. Our work often addresses compelling, complex and politically charged topics and is informed by both sophisticated and sensitive analyses. Consequently, we welcome both traditional and innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to research, and we encourage collaboration among members.
