Education and Reconciliation

Julia Paulson is Researcher at the University of Oxford, UK, and Chair of the Conflict and Education Research Group (CERG).

'In Education and Reconciliation, Julia Paulson has assembled an impressive array of new and established voices to explore some of the most pressing themes in the study of conflict societies: how should we define and pursue 'reconciliation'; what impact does violence have on children, either as victims, perpetrators, bystanders or the next generation left to deal with the legacies of conflict; and how can education permit a direct confrontation with the trauma of the past while safeguarding against future harm. Combining theoretical precision and in-depth analyses of case studies, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the role that pedagogy and historical narratives play in fomenting, redressing and preventing conflict.' Phil Clark, Lecturer in Comparative and International Politics, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK, and convener of Oxford Transitional Justice Research
