- Title
EDUCATING FOR PEACE THROUGH WAR: Reflections on Ten Days in a War Zone, Lebanon 2006.
- Authors
Wood, Bronwyn
- Abstract
This paper presents an autobiographical perspective of war, drawing from the author's experience of ten days in southern Lebanon during the Israel-Lebanon conflict of 2006. Diary entries, art, photos and stories are introduced to provide a visual and textual snapshot. Drawing on these experiences, the author reflects on how the teaching of a sanitised version of war in social science classrooms often fails to explore the complexities and contradictions of war. She uses Freire's notion of praxis — the weaving together of critical consciousness and critical intervention — as a possibility for social scientists and educators in the global effort to reduce conflict and promote peace.
