Building Peace Through Education

Bys: Niyogi, Nandi, Paul, Arghadip, Das, Partha

This book is an edited volume that offers a comprehensive and critical exploration of peace as a lived, educational, and policy-driven process. Moving beyond the conventional understanding of peace as merely the absence of armed conflict, the book conceptualizes peace as a transformative and dynamic condition grounded in social justice, equity, dialogue, empathy, and holistic human development. It recognizes that sustainable peace cannot be achieved solely through political treaties or legal frameworks; rather, it must be nurtured through conscious educational practices, inclusive policies, ethical leadership, and culturally responsive engagement. The volume brings together scholars from diverse disciplines and thereby creating a multidimensional dialogue on peacebuilding. It examines how structural inequalities, gender discrimination, socio-economic disparities, and representational politics shape experiences of violence and marginalization. Through discussions on curriculum design, pedagogy, inclusive classroom practices, the book emphasizes that peace education must cultivate critical thinking, emotional intelligence, cooperation, and respect for diversity.
