Description
In this book, the reader will learn how to "CL&SP" those moments when "Conflicts" arise and they are challenged to "Learn" the options they have for a deeper understanding. They can study examples of "Sustainable Peacebuilding" from around the world. The book will demonstrate how reconciliation efforts worked in South Africa, how peace literacy can teach English to youth in Burundi, and how an innovative women's village in Kenya succeeds. It will also explore the Graduate Institute of Peace Studies in South Korea and then into China, Japan, Thailand and Cambodia. In the Americas, the book provides positive examples from Brazil, Cuba, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Costa Rica. This book will also consider case studies of sustainable peacebuilding in Israel and Palestine, Russia and Ukraine, and conclude with references to protests and public nonviolent campaigns for change and how the CL&SP model can shine a light forward.

Person
Dr William M. Timpson is an emeritus professor from the School of Education at Colorado State University, USA. After receiving his Bachelors' degree in American History from Harvard University, USA, he went on to teach in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio, USA, and was quickly engulfed by an uprising that followed the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. Committed to understanding more about education and conflict, Timpson then completed his PhD in educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Since then, his career work has focused on teaching and learning complex and difficult topics, i.e., conflict, peace and reconciliation, sustainability, and diversity. His writing addresses instructional improvement, curriculum innovation, professional development, leadership and organizational change. Along with numerous articles, chapters, and grants, he has written or co-authored nineteen books, original titles, as well as new editions.
