Call for Papers

Peace Education Commission
Calgary, Canada
June 29th - July 3rd, 2006

The Peace Education Commission (PEC) of the International Peace Research
Association (IPRA) invites submissions for the 2006 conference in Calgary,
Canada,

The theme of the conference is "Patterns of Conflict: Pathways to Peace".
We adapt this theme by seeking papers that identity/discuss issues within
educational contexts and propose alternative solutions/resolutions
creatively along pathways to peace. There are numerous conflicts and
contradictions that appear in educational policies and their
implementation, between theory and practice in the classroom, in the
beliefs held by various educational philosophies, theories, and program
ideologies and their appropriation in the praxis of educational
practitioners (teachers, administrators, counselors, professors, etc.),
and between educators intended aims and consequential outcomes of
schooling. We emphasis the importance in making transparent that which
appears obvious, taken-for-granted, or common sense and the underlying
conflicting agendas and interests that undermine affective educational
practice in building a culture of peace and justice within local,
national, international, and global communities.

PEC is also open to paper submissions that more generally cover the
broader theoretical, philosophical, practical and experimental aspects of
peace education. .

The deadline for receipt of proposal submissions is December 1st, 2005.
A second deadline for receipt of proposal submissions is February 1st for
any sessions that may be left unfilled. Submissions will undergo a peer
review process.
