Partnering for Transformation in Schools and Beyond

Community-Engaged Learning in Peace, Social Justice, and Human Rights Education
Multidisciplinary insights reveal how diverse communities, educators, artists and researchers shape peace, social justice and human rights education through local partnerships and collaborative projects. Reflective essays, case studies and innovative practices illuminate transformative community engagement.

This comprehensive book offers both theoretical and practical guidance for understanding and enacting community-engaged learning through peace, social justice, and human rights education.

With a focus on new directions in peace, social justice, and human rights education, this book examines how local communities engage in collaboration with scholars and practitioners to advance these educational approaches and movements. Chapters from educators, artists, researchers, students, and community-based organizations from across the globe highlight the challenges and possibilities of implementing community-engaged praxis in diverse sites and contexts. The authors conceptualize community-engaged partnerships in many ways, including collaborative participation in social movements, school programs, extracurricular clubs, research projects, arts initiatives, youth development opportunities, higher educational initiatives, and civic actions. The volume provides a broad array of community-based exemplars to illustrate the varied ways in which peace and human rights education can positively transform communities locally and globally.
