<P>This book explores the interdisciplinary arena of peace studies and shows how the field has evolved and continues to grow and change.&nbsp;Dedicated to bringing students face to face with the grave injustices and violence in the contemporary world,&nbsp;it equips them with the tools to work for transformational change. Informed by an intersectional perspective, scholar-activist authors probe contested terrain, including teaching social justice from a place of privilege, decolonializing pedagogies, and community organizing. Games and simulations, storytelling, experiential integrated learning, and other pedagogical approaches are employed to encourage critical thinking, empathy, optimism, and activism. </P>
