A practical and timely book which spotlights and legitimizes peace education and its critical contributions to academic and informal educational spaces. It contains thoughtful strategies and useful tools for teachers and anyone hoping and helping to build the beloved community. I am recommending it to my fellow peace educators, from the elementary to the postgraduate levels, so that together we can nourish into being a future of greater empathy, collaboration, and justice.

As rising authoritarianism, pandemics, and climate crises continue to (re)shape conflict and injustice around the world, Hantzopolous and Bajaj's compelling roadmap of and singular vision for the foundations, complexities, situated engagements, and generative intersections of peace education and human rights education are exactly the interventions that we need. A Must Read.

This critical guide is much more than a map and handbook for peace and human rights educators-its truest audience is every teacher at any level who aspires to create a classroom based on the practice of freedom, and is in persistent pursuit of firm footing in this broken world.

William Ayers, formerly Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

Hantzopoulos and Bajaj brilliantly point to new directions in peace and human rights education that are critical, post-structural and decolonial – and interconnected through a shared focus on human dignity and transformative learning. Chapter 5 is a tour de force!
