ABSTRACT

Recent feminist and postmodern scholarship has posed a sharp challenge to our traditional approaches to learning and knowing. In particular, it has brought to light the way in which the emotions and feelings have been excised from critical ratio­ nality. In this chapter, I draw on these findings as a way of reconceptualizing what it means to educate for human change in general, and peace education in particular. This work also draws on my own considerable experience as an educator who has focused on art, the aesthetic, and the body as the medium for self and social change.
