In Humanities Perspectives in Peace Education: Re-Engaging the
Heart of Peace Studies, scholar-teachers across a variety of
humanities fields explore the content, methods, and pedagogies that
are unique to their respective disciplines in contributing to the
study of peace and justice. In recent decades, even as peace
scholarship has burgeoned, many peace studies texts- including
those that purport to be interdisciplinary in nature-have
emphasized social science perspectives and, in some cases, have
foregone exploration of the role of the humanities altogether in
comprehensive peace education. While humanities scholars continue
to stake out space for peace scholarship within their fields, no
volume has attempted to collect the wisdom of multiple humanities
disciplines in order to make the case for their critical role in
authentic peace education. Humanities Perspectives in Peace
Education addresses that shortcoming in the field of peace studies
by exploring the ways in which the humanities are uniquely situated
to contribute particular content, knowledge, skills, and values
required of comprehensive peace education, scholarship, and
activism. These include the development of empathy and
understanding, creative vision and imagination, personal and
communal transformation toward "the good" in society (such as the
pursuit of justice, nonviolence, freedom, and human thriving), and
field-specific analytical lenses of their own, among other
contributions. Both teachers and students of peace will find value
in this interdisciplinary humanities volume. Each chapter of
Humanities Perspectives in Peace Education offers a deep-dive into
a particular humanities field-including philosophy, literature,
language and culture studies, rhetoric, religion, history, and
music-to mine the field's unique contributions to peace and justice
studies. Scholars ask: "What are we missing in peace education if
we fail to include this academic discipline?" Chapters include
suggestions for peace pedagogies within the humanities field as
well as bibliographies and suggestions for further reading.

Be inspired in 2020 by Ghandi's ten lessons for life. Gandhi was an
icon, but what would he teach us if he were alive today?
___________ In this Sunday Times bestseller, his grandson Arun
reveals the ten vital and extraordinary lessons his grandfather
taught him, all of which are more relevant now than ever . . . Arun
believes that the violence and turmoil in the world today makes
Gandhi's teachings more vital than ever, and The Gift places these
lessons in a modern context, shedding new light on how Gandhi's
principles can - and must - be applied to today's concerns. The
moving, often irreverent, story of Arun's years growing up at the
iconic Sevagram ashram provides the setting for the treasured
moments spent his grandfather, which are an engaging and often
surprising read. These memories give a rare insight into Gandhi the
man behind the icon, and reveal the motivations behind his ten
inspirational lessons which we can all learn from today. From using
anger for good, to knowing your own worth, we can all learn
something from Ghandi and become better versions of ourselves.
Formerly published as The Gift of Anger.
