ABSTRACT

The present book, Innovations in Peace and Education Praxis: Transdisciplinary Reflections and Insights (Archer, Hajir and McInerney, 2023), reflects on the contributions of postmodern, poststructural and critical scholarship as applied to the field of peace education. In particular, the authors – who are peace educators – turn inward to gaze at their own practices in the field, and to theorise on the limits and possibilities of a post/critical praxis in peace education. As longtime peace education practitioners ourselves, whose writing has also turned toward critical, postmodern and postcolonial insights in recent years (Bajaj & Brantmeier, 2011; Brantmeier, 2013; Hajir & Kester, 2020; Kester et al., 2021; Zembylas, 2018, 2022), we are particularly intrigued by the reflexive and experientially grounded arguments throughout the book.
