This book, as the first exploration of suicide in Peace and
Conflict Studies (PACS), illustrates the scarcity of suicide
research in the discipline and argues that the leading cause of
violent death worldwide is a multifaceted phenomenon that needs to
be fully comprehended as a significant and often preventable form
of world-wide violence. The author supplies a theoretical framework
for assessing suicide as medical or instrumental, posits
interdisciplinary complementarity and offers future lines of
inquiry that challenge established notions of prevention. The book
presents a PACS meta-theory termed 'encounter theory' and supplies
a suicidal peacebuilding platform via relationship. This book
questions why more PACS scholars aren't turning their attention to
suicide when more people die by suicide than ethnic, religious or
'terroristic' violence combined.

This captivating book presents innovative answers to the question:
why storytelling? Each chapter represents leading edge narrative
research designs from Arthur V. Mauro Institute for Peace and
Justice in central Canada, one of the world's leading academic
programs for Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS), and a major
contributor to PACS scholarship. The authors are candid and offer
inspiration for other scholars seeking groundbreaking ideas for
their own research design while offering profound expansions to the
current PACS literature. The scholarship reflects a diversity of
ideas, passions, approaches, disciplinary roots, and topic areas.
Each chapter explores different and critical issues in the field of
PACS through various forms of storytelling, while providing recent
original research designs for the future development of the field
and the education of its practitioners and academics. This volume,
co-edited by three of the early graduates of the program, presents
and explores a number of these issues across the broad spectrum of
Peace and Conflict Studies. Contributors to the book are recognized
scholars and practitioners in their respective fields. The book has
a wide audience, targeting those particularly interested in
tackling and understanding old conflicts in new ways, and for those
seeking to learn at the growing edges of PACS, at the
undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels.
This book serves as an important link between conflict resolution
practice and education by providing research from the unique
perspective and approach of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace
and Justice, one of the world's leading academic programs for PACS
research: storytelling, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation.
Each chapter presents original research in critical issues in the
field of PACS, and provides recent research for the future
development of the field and the education of its practitioners and
academics. The book has a wide audience targeting students at the
undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. It also extends
to those working in and leading community conflict resolution
efforts as well as humanitarian aid workers. Exploring the issues
facing the field provides a means by which academics, students, and
practitioners can develop theory, practice, pedagogy, and
methodology to confront the complexity of contemporary conflicts
while expanding opportunities for future research and practice.
Contributors to the book are recognized scholars and practitioners
in their respective fields. The authors' take a holistic approach
to the study, analysis, and resolution of conflict at the personal,
interpersonal, societal and cultural levels. The book is a
retrospective of the Mauro Centre and through its content, explores
the roots of a major contributor to PACS scholarship. The
scholarship represents those who come to the PACS field with a
diversity of ideas, approaches, disciplinary roots, and topic
areas, which speaks to the complexity, breadth, and depth needed to
apply and take account of conflict dynamics and the goal of peace.
This book reflects the unique model and approach of the Arthur V.
Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice at the University of Manitoba in
central Canada: conflict transformation, peacebuilding, and
storytelling. Based in the doctoral theses and in celebration of
the first decade of Canada's only doctoral program in PACS, this
volume, co-edited by three of the graduates of the program and
written by colleagues, presents and explores a number of these
issues while presenting new and leading research across the broad
spectrum of Peace and Conflict Studies.
Want a respectful and deliberate antidote to violence of the self,
violence done to others and violence in society? This inclusive and
accessible introduction to the fields of Peace Education and Yogic
Science provides you with a toolkit to experience and share
contemplative pro-peace practices with your student/participants
and is the first Theory and Practice Manual for
teacher/facilitators to bring personal peacebuilding into the
classroom, community centre or the field. Developed to answer the
question: can we provide simple, accessible and affordable
peacebuilding (an intervention that stops harm) to any learning
environment and assist people to self-regulate and attune
themselves to nonviolence? This book is the answer: a comprehensive
and insightful learning tool that presents cutting edge research
alongside personal reflections of what it is like to `teach' this
kind of content and how these practices can find space with the
hectic realities of 21st Century living. This book contains (10)
preparatory exercises, (15) pro-peace practices, and (7) Chakra
Coloring pages - a healing and creative activity useful in
emotional grounding and stress management. Our ambition is to
assist teacher/facilitators to add these practices to their own
lives and then `live the learning' they hope to share with others.
