The Problems and Possibilities for Peace Studies
Spencer, Bruce
Convergence, v39 n4 p123-132 2006
Is there really a connection between "adult education" and "peace" today: or are many of today's adult educators so busy they are not interested in the big issues of the day? Or is it perhaps that concerns about "world peace" appear to be too remote to be influenced by adult education initiatives? The purpose of this discussion is to explore these and related questions and hopefully point to a role that adult education scholars and practitioners can play in support of peace activism.
