To truly move toward a more peaceful society, it is imperative that peace education better
address structural and institutional violence. This requires that it be integrated into
institutions outside of schools and universities. Doing so will be challenging, as many of
these institutions are structured on domination and control, not on partnership and
shared power. In particular, U.S. criminal justice, social services and prevention programs, and sport have tended to be
dominator-modeled. This book offers analysis and suggestions for overcoming these challenges and for integrating peace
education into important social institutions.
Creativity will be one of the most useful assets in moving peace education from schools to other institutions. This book
argues that with creative visioning, collaboration, and implementation, peace education can be integrated into the most
challenging situations and provide hope for holistic changes in our society.
