Call For Papers

In Factis Pax is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year by graduate students in the Judith Herb College of Education at the University of Toledo, in association with the Center for Non-violence and Democratic Education.

In Factis Pax is an online journal of peace education and social justice dedicated to the examination of the epistemological relationship between knowledge, peace, and social justice. The peer reviewed journal seeks articles which examine issues central to the formation of a peaceful society- the prevention of violence, political challenges to peace and democratic societies. Social justice, democracy, and human flourishing are the core factors which highlight the importance of the role of education in building peaceful and just societies. The goal of In Factis Pax is to use both traditional media and online technology formats to further the discussion- the quest for knowledge that
will inevitably bring the peace we strive to find in our time on earth.

Current issue theme:

The relationship between knowledge and peace.

Knowledge is of absolute importance for one to achieve critical consciousness, which is a factor in examining the hierarchies of social systems. Knowledge liberates individuals from the impediments to the achievement of peaceful societies. Educational systems that are based in human dignity and develop the full potential of humanity are the path toward peaceful, just societies.
Our call for papers seeks to expand upon this ideal, as well as entertaining similar and viewpoints to the contrary.

In Factis Pax is intended as a venue where both new and established scholars, researchers, practitioners and activists can make valuable contributions to the domains listed in the full title of the journal.
