By taking students out of their comfort zone, field-based
courses--which are increasingly popular in secondary and
postsecondary education--have the potential to be deep,
transformative learning experiences. But what happens when the
field in question is a site of active or recent conflict? In
Conflict Zone, Comfort Zone, editors Agnieszka Paczynska and Susan
F. Hirsch highlight new approaches to field-based learning in
conflict zones worldwide. As the contributors demonstrate,
instructors must leave the comfort zone of traditional pedagogy to
meet the challenges of field-based education. Drawing on case
studies in the United States and abroad, the contributors address
the ethical considerations of learning in conflict zones, evaluate
the effectiveness of various approaches to teaching these courses,
and provide guidelines for effecting change. They also explore how
the challenges of field-based classes are magnified in conflict and
postconflict settings, and outline the dilemmas faced by those
seeking to resolve those challenges. Finally, filling a crucial gap
in existing literature, the contributors identify best practices
that will assist aspiring instructors in developing successful
field-based courses in conflict zones. Contributors: Daniel R.
