Teaching Social Competencies in Post-Conflict Societies
Learner-centered education is not only a crucial issue for quality of education but also for students' social self-esteem, self-effectiveness and societal peace and coherence. Following the trauma of the genocide, learner-centered education has been systematically introduced in Rwandan protestant schools in response to the need for peace, social coherence and to improve the quality of education. This book provides an overview of the concepts and experiences from a new Rwandan teacher training program "Participatory and active Pedagogy," its educational theory, strategies of implementation, testimonials of teachers involved and the results of an evaluation testing the teachers' development and curriculum effectiveness on students. Francois Rwambonera headed the teacher training program and department for education of the ecumenical Council of Churches in Rwanda from 1995 to 2012. Annette Scheunpflug and Susanne Krogull, both from Otto-Friedrich University in Bamberg, Germany, were charged with completing an independent evaluation of the program.
School Shootings
School shootings are a topic of research in a variety of different disciplines—from psychology, to sociology to criminology, pedagogy, and public health—each with their own set of theories. Many of these theories are logically interconnected, while some differ widely and seem incompatible with each other, leading to divergent results about potential means of prevention. In this innovative work, leading researchers on the topic of school shootings introduce their findings and theoretical concepts in one combined systematic volume. The contributions to this work highlight both the complementary findings from different fields, as well as cases where they diverge or contradict each other. Th...

Understanding Violence Against Women
Violence against women is one factor in the growing wave of alarm about violence in American society. High-profile cases such as the O.J. Simpson trial call attention to the thousands of lesser-known but no less tragic situations in which women's lives are shattered by beatings or sexual assault. The search for solutions has highlighted not only what we know about violence against women but also what we do not know. How can we achieve the best understanding of this problem and its complex ramifications? What research efforts will yield the greatest benefit? What are the questions that must be answered? Understanding Violence Against Women presents a comprehensive overview of current knowledg...
Killing Neighbors
In the horrific events of the mid-1990s in Rwanda, tens of thousands of Hutu killed their Tutsi friends, neighbors, even family members. That ghastly violence has overshadowed a fact almost as noteworthy: that hundreds of thousands of Hutu killed no one. In a transformative revisiting of the motives behind and specific contexts surrounding the Rwandan genocide, Lee Ann Fujii focuses on individual actions rather than sweeping categories. Fujii argues that ethnic hatred and fear do not satisfactorily explain the mobilization of Rwandans one against another. Fujii's extensive interviews in Rwandan prisons and two rural communities form the basis for her claim that mass participation in the geno...
