This article proposes that the universally acknowledged need for education reform requires both new conceptual and methodological approaches. At the core of this reform is transformation from conflict-based to peace-based educational concepts and practices aimed at creating school environments that promote academic and relational excellence, are safe and nurturing, and are free from bullying and violence. The article draws from the research done and lessons learned from more than sixteen ongoing years of implementation of Education for Peace (EFP)—a comprehensive peace-based education program—in more than one thousand schools, involving thousands of educators, and several hundred thousand students (K-12) in the highly conflicted and traumatized war-torn country of Bosnia and Herzegovina and more recently in schools in the United States, Mexico, Bermuda, and elsewhere.

The Military

The United States military is a frequent point of public conversation since the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. Approximately two and a half million service members have deployed in the Global War on Terror, and many have completed multiple deployments with almost 7,000 fatalities across operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Communication research on the military has a long history but since 9/11 has picked up pace with scholars seeking to understand the military’s relationship with the media, its discussion in the public sphere, and the interpersonal/familial experiences of service members and their families. The theoretical and methodological approaches are wide ranging within the discipline, but an intergroup perspective is noticeably absent. Many opportunities exist for answering intergroup communication questions, most notably at the military and civilian divide and, in turn, offering insight about and practical suggestions for communication within and about the military. Given the numerous possibilities for intergroup communication research related to the military, researchers should seize the opportunity to bring new theoretical and methodological approaches to the area. One theory, which has not been used in the intergroup communication scholarship but has great potential for this part of the discipline, is relational dialectics theory. Relational dialectics theory (RDT) is a critical/interpretive theory/method package that explores the substance and form of relational talk with a keen eye for dominant and marginalized discourses. For example, intergroup communication scholars who study the military from an RDT perspective could help illuminate how different groups (e.g., military families and civilian families; same-sex military married couples; and opposite-sex military married couples) understand and construct, for example, their similarities and differences with the goal of improving their interactions. Intergroup communication scholars could use also RDT to study how multiple group-related discourses are present within military groups who have diverse membership (e.g., Family Readiness Groups, FRGs) where members constitute the intersections of several identities (e.g., military wives are simultaneously members of military culture but technically are not military personnel; members are also often simultaneously women, spouses, who, in some cases, are mothers who come from different socioeconomic and ethnic groups, as well as identify as officer or enlisted wives).

An overall finding in comparative mobility studies is that intergenerational mobility is greater in Scandinavia than in liberal welfare-state countries like the United States and United Kingdom. However, in a recent study, Landersø and Heckman (L & H) (2017) argue that intergenerational educational mobility in Denmark and the United States is remarkably similar. L & H’s findings run contrary to widespread beliefs and have been echoed in academia and mass media on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In this article, we reanalyze educational mobility in Denmark and the United States using the same data sources as L & H. We apply several different methodological approaches from economics and sociology, and we consistently find that educational mobility ishigher in Denmark than in the United States.

This paper explores families’ investment in skills development through education in a high-inequality, low-educationquality country such as Mexico, comparing it to a lower-inequality, higher-quality education country such as theUnited States. The paper uses a series of Household Income and Expenditure Surveys for both countries spanningaround 20 years and different methodological approaches. Of particular interest is the analysis of educationexpenditure patterns along the income distribution. Policy implications for both cases are discussed. While in Mexicostimulating private spending in education through public resources might be regressive, the contrary might be thecase in the United States.

<p>El presente artículo presenta la experiencia de la internacionalización y cooperación internacional que se analiza a partir de tres componentes: los instrumentos para la cooperación, las actividades académicas que favorecen la internacionalización y los productos y resultados académicos a partir de las actividades conjuntas. La metodología implicó el uso de fuentes orales como escritas, principalmente los archivos documentales de la ECG. Desde su institucionalización la disciplina Geográfica tiene una impronta en los procesos de internacionalización; en los últimos años los esfuerzos de cooperación internacional desde la Universidad Nacional, ha favorecido el desarrollo de una geografía robusta y actualizada en los nuevos enfoques teóricos metodológicos, con universidades de gran prestigio en Latinoamérica: Brasil, México, Argentina, Chile, Colombia y la tradicional cooperación con países como Estados Unidos, España y Canadá.</p><p>GLOBALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: EXPERIENCE OF THE SCHOOL OF GEOGRAPHIC SCIENCES, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, COSTA RICA</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong><br /> The experience of globalization and international cooperation is analyzed based on three indicators: tools for cooperation, academic activities, and the products and academic results from joint activities.

Methodological Approaches

Black women in the United States and across the African diaspora have historically linked national concerns to global ones. This interdisciplinary collection explores the varied ways black women have engaged in internationalism since the late nineteenth century through political agitation, consumption activities and economic pursuits, leisure and religious practices, as well as performance and artistic expression. The essays in this collection employ diverse and innovative methodological approaches and explore new sites of internationalism, including Australia, Germany, and Spain. By highlighting the range and complexity of black women’s ideas and activities across time and space, this volume expands the contours of black internationalism in the United States and across the globe.
