Maryland, Edward Brantmeier, James Madison University, and Ian
Harris, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee This edited book is a
new and valuable resource for students, teachers, and
practitioners, providing a detailed exploration of how qualitative
research can be applied in the field of peace and conflict studies.

conflict studies that employed qualitative methods. Scholars and
researchers in peace and conflict studies and peace education face
unique challenges in teaching, designing, and conducting
qualitative research in these fields. This edited book discusses
tips in designing qualitative studies in this area and for teaching
emerging peace researchers best practices of qualitative inquiry.
In addition, the book discusses some of the trends, challenges, and
opportunities associated with research in peace and conflict
studies and peace education. Written at a level appropriate for
both graduate students and active researchers, the primary audience
for this book is those teaching and learning about the application
of qualitative methods to peace and conflict studies, as well as
those conducting research in this field. There are currently
approximately 230 graduate programs in peace and conflict studies.
This book also provides a useful tool for researchers and students
in other academic disciplines who are interested in qualitative
research. Such disciplines might include education, sociology,
criminology, gender studies, psychology, political science, and
others.
Authored by scholars from a variety of disciplines, including
English, Theology, Philosophy, Communications, Sociology,
Humanities and Peace Studies, this edited volume provides detailed
descriptions of the many ways popular culture can be used to teach
peace. Chapters discuss documentary and feature film, music,
television, literature and more, providing both educators and the
general public with a timely and useful tool. From popular
dystopian novels like The Hunger Games to feature films like The
Matrix to modern rap and hip-hop music, contributors not only
provide critical analysis of the violence in popular culture but
also an assessment of how the same or alternate forms can be used
by peace educators. Additionally, each chapter project synopses and
teaching ideas, as well as recommended resources.
This book is a guide for college students exploring career options
who are interested in working to promote peacebuilding and the
resolution of conflict. High school students, particularly those
starting to consider college and careers, can also benefited from
this book. A major feature of the book is 30 stories from young
professionals, most recently graduated from college, who are
working in the field. These profiles provide readers with insight
as to strategies they might use to advance their peacebuilding
careers. The book speaks directly to the Millennial generation,
recognizing that launching a career is a major focus, and that
careers in the peace field have not always been easy to identify.
As such, the book takes the approach that most any career can be a
peacebuilding career provided one is willing to apply creativity
and passion to their work.
