Season 2, Episode 1: Peace Education and Peacebuilding in Colombia

In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Dr Yesid Paez to discuss peace education and peacebuilding in Colombia.

Dr Yesid Paez is an educator with an interest in education and international development, with a particular emphasis on peacebuilding. He is a senior lecturer in education at Bath Spa University. His doctoral research delved into conceptualisations of peace emerging in communities affected by conflict in Putumayo, Colombia. A crucial component of Yesid's research was his ethical obligation to understand and incorporate insights from these communities' experiences and perspectives on peace, conflict, and social justice. This allowed him to explore how various educational sites navigate spaces of conflict and propose alternatives to counter violent conflict and oppression.
