Schooling for Peace in a Time of Rising Authoritarianism
Mon, April 25, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Exhibit Hall BAbstract
A gap remains in the literature on school culture and school safety with respect to centering students’ voices on the peace and security policies of their schools. This study has surveyed youth nationally, and has conducted a series of focus groups, to better understand how students understand and experience the peace and security policies they live with each day. This includes the use of active shooter drills, SROs, peer mediation, anti-bullying programs and more. Grounded in a critical peace education framework, the study then draws lessons from student views, reflecting on how students today may be understanding ideas such as peace, safety, freedom and authority. Such concepts, of course, are essential to a healthy democracy.
