School Violence in International Contexts
Perspectives from Educational Leaders Without Borders
XXV, 243 p. 8 illus., 7 illus. in color. online resource.
This international edited volume is a rare look at cultural, economic and political forces that contribute to school violence. In light of the devastating events in US schools and the violence towards students and schools world-wide, the war on knowledge development in non/secular education is increasing at an alarming rate. This book offers an international perspective on violence from both K-12 to tertiary levels, parents, administrators/teachers/support staff, and research scholars in a desire to understand the contextual issues surrounding violence and its impacts on the field of education. ELWB Scholars and practitioners hailing from six continents propose historical to futuristic perspectives linking violence towards education and its inhabitants, while framing future strategies to alter multinational fear mongering to the decline of knowledge generation for an informed citizenry.
