SUMMARY:From Perpetrator to Peacebuilder: Rethinking Education in Conflict-
 Affected Societies
DESCRIPTION:8 March 2023\, 3-4pm UK time GMT\nSpeaker: Professor Tejendra P
 herali\, UCL\, UK\nConvenor: Maia Chankseliani\nREGISTER HERE FOR THIS ONL
 INE SEMINAR\nIn this presentation\, I will problematise the widely believe
 d role of education in promoting societal advancement and critically discu
 ss how education can create and exacerbate conditions of violent conflicts
  in politically and socially fragile environments. Drawing upon my decade-
 long work in Nepal\, Afghanistan\, Lebanon and Thailand\, I will present a
 n analytical framework that enables researchers\, practitioners and policy
  makers to appreciate multidimensional interactions between education\, co
 nflict and peace. I would argue that educational processes in conflict-aff
 ected societies should underpin critical political consciousness\, enablin
 g teachers and learners to exercise their agency to create transformative 
 learning spaces that harness the peacebuilding role of education. National
  and international actors involved in peace negotiations should prioritise
  education as a vehicle for conflict transformation and sustainable peace.
