The summer school focused on “Teaching and Learning the Past in the Aftermath of (Civil) Warand Mass Violence: The Challenges and Promises of History Education in Divided and Post-conflict Societies.” The participants, ranging from early-career scholars to senior re- searchers and practitioners in the field of education and peace, explored history education and its reform in the aftermath of civil warand mass violence. They also examined representations of warand peace in curricula, textbooks, and other educational materials, as well as in the classroom. The summerschool, organized by the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research in Braunschweig, Germany,provided an interdisciplinary and international forum that allowed participants to debate and criticallyreflect upon key research questions, methods, findings, and their implications. All in all, the one-week summer schoolcovered an incredibly broad variety of case studies organized into five regional panels, from more than 20 countries including Armenia,Burundi, Cambodia,Croatia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Macedonia, Pakistan, Portugal, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, and the United States. The following noted academics and prac- titioners shared their expertise: Meenakshi Chhabra, associateprofessor in in- terdisciplinary studies at Lesley University in Boston; Elizabeth Cole, senior program officer at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP); Khamboly Dy, a doctoral candidate in the DivisionofGlobal Affairs at Rutgers University in New Jersey and coordinator of the Genocide Education Project at the Documentation Center of Cambodia; Alan McCully, senior lecturer in the School of Education at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland; Karen Murphy, director of inter- national programsatthe NGO Facing History and Ourselves in the United States; M. Ayaz Naseem, associateprofessor in the Department of Education at Con- cordia University in Montreal; Elizabeth Oglesby, associate professor in the © 2016, V&R unipress GmbH, Göttingen ISBN Print: 9783847106081 – ISBN E-Book: 9783847006084 12 Simone Lässig Department of Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona;Elie Podeh, professor in the Department of Islamand Middle Eastern Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; and Gail Weldon, an independent education consultant from South Africa. The summerschoolispart of the Georg Arnhold Program, which aims to promote research on education for sustainable peace and to form an interna- tional network in the field of peacebuilding. At the Georg Eckert Institute we believethat education is the cornerstone of the future of the societies we livein. We are dedicated to ensuring that future generations are brought up with open minds, able to reflect on theirattitudesand beliefs and embrace responsibility and democracy. Acting on this vision, the American banker, patron of the arts, and strong supporter of the sciences, Henry H. Arnhold, institutedthe guest professorship, summerschool, and symposium that make up the program at our institute to honor the legacy of his grandfatherGeorg Arnhold, acommitted pacifist. Henry H. Arnhold’sintention in instituting the Georg Arnhold Program has been to promoteinternational dialogue and an exchange of ideas and to strengthen links between academia and civil society, thus contributing to strong and peaceable societies. The program’sfocus lies particularly on educational media and curriculainpost-conflict or transitional societies.Western democ- racies, of course, are also called upon to develop new concepts to maintain and stabilize peace within society. As UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed on the occasion of the International Day of Peace in 2013: “It is not enough to teach children how to read, write and count. Education has to cultivate mutual respect for others and the world in which we live, and help people forge more just, inclusiveand peaceful societies.”1 1Ban Ki-moon, “Secretary-General’s100-day CountdownMessage,” New York, June 13, 2013. http://www.un.org/en/events/peaceday/2013/sgmessage_countdown.shtml. © 2016, V&R unipress GmbH, Göttingen ISBN Print: 9783847106081 – ISBN E-Book: 9783847006084 Introduction © 2016, V&R unipress GmbH, Göttingen ISBN Print: 9783847106081 – ISBN E-Book:
