Proposal Description
This panel considers the ideological, intellectual, personal, and practical dimensions of peacebuilding. It explores how various educational spaces, self-inquiry, and theory can bring attention to cultural predicaments and communities that are frequently neglected, omitted, or misunderstood in peacebuilding.
- In settler-colonial states, schooling is a process of naturalizing inequality which can be exposed and potentially interrupted through the application of peace and conflict studies methods and theories.
- As academic institutions seek to address gender-based violence taking place both on campuses and online, approaches may fall short in considering the institution’s continued entrenchment in colonialism. Further decolonization is needed to better address this violence and support victims.
- As the joint pandemics of Covid-19 and anti-black racism glaringly unfolded in 2020, many American museums began using digital interfaces to make these crises more legible to the broader public. In the process, they began to redefine the social function of contemporary American museums.
- As a peace and conflict practitioner, the spaces we look to heal and to fix are endless, and as we look to explore peace building pathways in the world around us, we can also look inward to the peace we build within our own self.
