Owing to what are usually large numbers of students in the EID cluster of programmes we cannot offer any 'guaranteed' places on this module. Requests may nonetheless be made on an individual basis. Acceptance will be dependent on provision of a statement of relevant motivation and experience.
Students not enrolled on a programme in the Education and International Development Cluster: To ensure that students have appropriate experience to attend the module, a brief statement of application is required. This should take the form of a personal statement of no more than 250 words (to be sent to the Module Administrator) at least 2 weeks before the module start date (or earlier if this will affect your enrolment on the module). Your statement should include clear reasons as to why you would like to study this module.

This module explores complex interactions between education, armed conflict and peace. It critically examines the role of education in production and prevention of socio-political tensions in low and middle-income countries. Students will be provided an opportunity to critically explore political and sociological theories in explaining the role of education in reproducing socioeconomic divisions as well in producing a critical mass of learners who resist inequalities and social injustices. The multitude of ways violent conflicts and state fragility impact upon children and the underprivileged communities are also considered. The module also explores challenges around educational aid in conflict-affected environments and encourages critical debates in and theorisation of education in post-conflict recovery, reconstruction and peacebuilding. Equity, social justice and social transformation will be the crosscutting themes across all sessions.
