Multicultural education is a construct that has been very useful
for many years in harboring sensitivities teachers need in
addressing diverse students. Now the discipline needs refreshing.
In the global society, the idea of multicultural education, a
decidedly Western formation, needs to expand its conceptual
boundaries. Salient issues in multicultural education such as
individual identities, social justice, and equity are bedrock
concerns of multicultural educators. These concepts are considered
necessary but not sufficient in shaping an evolving model of
multicultural education. The complexity of humans and modern and
emerging societies requires a broadened scope of the understanding
of contemporary multicultural theory and practice. Evolving
Multicultural Education for Global Classrooms addresses
multicultural education from a comprehensive viewpoint that
acknowledges the historical benefit of multicultural education and
recognizes a need to inform the discipline with a broader
viewpoint. As most knowledge on multicultural education comes from
a Western perspective and the scholarship on the topic is
weakening, the chapters in this book present new practices and
classroom applications that are internationally transferable.
Topics covered include teacher education, social justice,
educational equity and inclusion, online education, and cultural
sensitivities. This book is ideally intended for teachers,
educational theorists, sociologists of education, inservice and
preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in a fresh global perspective on multicultural education.

Since August 2017, the Tatmadaw, Myanmar's security forces, have
conducted clearance operations in the Rakhine State, driving a mass
exodus of ethnic Rohingyas to neighboring Bangladesh. In The
Rohingya Crisis, Kawser Ahmed and Helal Mohiuddin address core
questions about the conflict and its global-regional significance.
Who are the Rohingyas and what are the main issues related to their
identity? What are the root causes of the conflict? How has
statelessness contributed to this genocide? What are the regional
and global security ramifications of the conflict? What are the
geo-economic and geo-political factors contributing to conflict?
What are the perceptions of the stranded Rohingyas about their
desired livelihood? What are the best ways toward safe and secure
repatriation? And what are specific peacebuilding avenues available
for conflict transformation at the macro-, meso-, and micro-level?
The Rohingya Crisis is now in its fifth year with no end in sight.
While the international community has supported the displaced
Rohingyas in Bangladesh by providing humanitarian assistance, what
is needed now is to investigate the short-and long-term
implications of the crisis from the host country's perspective.
Also, it is imperative to examine the current political situation,
which was caused by the Myanmar military coup in February 2021. It
has cast a dark shadow on the possibility of a negotiated
repatriation. In this volume, scholars from Bangladesh and Canada
have reflected upon the security situation, the pandemic's impact
on the Rohingyas, inter-group conflict, environmental impact and
burden sharing aspects, the informal labor situation, NGO
intervention for resilience mapping, and diaspora activities. For
both academics and policymakers who work in the fields of conflict
resolution and peacebuilding, this book will show how not
intervening early in a crisis can have long-term consequences.

ethnic Rohingyas to neighboring Bangladesh. In The Rohingya Crisis:
Analyses, Responses, and Peacebuilding Avenues, Kawser Ahmed and
Helal Mohiuddin address core questions about the conflict and its
global and regional significance. Ahmed and Mohiuddin identify the
defining characteristics of Rohingya identity, analyze the
conflict, depict the geo-economic and geo-political factors
contributing to the conflict, and outline peacebuilding avenues
available for conflict transformation at the macro-, meso-, and
micro-level. This book is recommended for students and scholars of
anthropology, sociology, peace and conflict studies, political
science, and Asian studies.
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.
Grassroots Approaches to Community-Based Peacebuilding Initiatives
examines how change is affected in society by studying the
experiences of community leaders involved in social activism in
Winnipeg, Canada. Documenting the peace-building activities of a
host of Community Based Organizations (CBOs), it explores how these
activities are used strategically to impact conflict transformation
related to issues such as racism, inequality, and extremism in
local settings. Due to its combination of a theoretical foundation
and first-hand accounts of actual peace-building projects, this
book is a highly useful resource for understanding policy and
praxis related to peace-building, and a significant contribution to
the literature on peace and conflict studies and policy formation.
Following the launch of the global war on terror, western nations
commissioned multiple community focused projects aimed at
preventing terrorism and countering violent extremism. With an
understanding that a comprehensive approach entails both proactive
counter-radicalization measures and rehabilitation initiatives,
these community-based projects typically aim to build resilience
and enhance prevention capacity within specific communities. This
book focuses on the perceptions and experiences of twenty-nine
community-based counter-radicalization project leaders in eight
western countries: the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada,
Australia, Germany, Belgium, Scotland, and France. By closely
examining these efforts across multiple national contexts and in
diverse communities, this book examines the challenges and
opportunities of community-focused projects as identified by such
projects' leaders. At the book's heart are interviews about
community engagement and experience from the people most closely
attuned to this vital work. By highlighting the importance of
listening to community members, the book offers a rare chance to
directly hear community members' ideas, frustrations, and hopes.
