Anatomy of a Peace Educator: Her Work and Workplace
Gursel-Bilgin, Gulistan; Flinders, David J.
Australian Journal of Teacher Education, v45 n10 Article 3 p35-54 Oct 2020
This article reports a case study that examined the peace education practice of a 5th and 6th grade teacher at an independent, non-profit school in the Mid-western United States. The study used Paulo Freire's (1970) conception of dialogue as its conceptual framework. After describing the study's context and methods, we present data focusing on the teacher's background and development as a peace educator, her teaching practices, and her relationships with her students, school and local community. We discuss Michelle's interdisciplinary approach to peace education linked with her personal background and her use of dialogue as dynamic, fluid, and relational. Our analyses also prompted emergent themes for which we used curriculum theory to capture forms of integration between the personal and political dimensions of peace education, based on which, we propose an "integrated peace education."
