"Education Conflict And Globalisation | Education

In 2009 Globalisation Societies and Education published a special issue on globalisation education and violent conflict in tribute to Jackie Kirk a passionate researcher educator and advocate who was killed while working with the International Rescue Committee in Afghanistan. This book is an opportunity to capture the promising new developments that have occurred within the maturing sub-field of education and conflict in the intervening years. It explores two critical dimensions of education amid conflict and in post-conflict settings: the increasingly protracted non-linear and disjointed nature of conflict and the complex interplay between global and local forces in conflict-affected contexts. Taken as a whole this book represents a ‘narrative of becoming’ of the maturing sub-field of education and conflict. It traces and intertwines local and global histories of education amidst conflict and puts them into conversation with the present. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Globalisation Societies and Education. |Education Conflict and Globalisation | Education
