Journal Article
The Subjective Necessity of Nonviolence
2025
Overview
What I'm presenting tonight is a course of study juxtaposing-a term Janet Miller brought to my attention, one also developed by Teresa Strong-Wilson-a series of fragments, a term Tom Poetter (2025) employs in his moving new book titled Curriculum Fragments. If you'd like a glimpse into Tom's curriculum fragments-before asking your university library to purchase a copy-go to www.curriculumstudies.ca-scroll down the table of contents on the left, click on our YouTube channel, and there-among other offerings-you'll find the book launches I've hosted, among them Tom's, but also others, including the launch of James Burns' (2023) important new book-Curriculum and the Problem of Violence: Biopolitics, Truth, History and Fascism-and Hongyu Wang's 2021 Contemporary Daoism, Organic Relationality, and Curriculum of Integrative Creativity. Other curriculum studies texts I'd like to acknowledge as influential are Hongyu Wang's (2024) Awakenings to the Calling of Nonviolence in Curriculum Studies (preceded by her 2014 book Nonviolence and Education: Cross-Cultural Pathways), James P. Burns' (2023) aforementioned Curriculum and the Problem of Violence, Christopher Cruz's (2024) Curriculum as Confession, Molly Quinn's (2014) Peace and Pedagogy, and Kathy Bickmore's (2025) forthcoming collection Constructive Conflict Pedagogies for Building Democratic Peace: Teaching Strategies from Around the World. [...]when \"multiple dimensions of conflicts and potential peacebuilding action options\" are included in the curriculum, when \"teachers find ways to listen and to support their self-expression and action roles,\" the curriculum can create \"space for young people to develop hope and capabilities, to build just peace in their own and others' lives\" (p. 46).
