The Memory of Nazism and the Migration Society: Fears, Experiences and Attributions. Intergenerational Historical Consciousness Year of publication: 2008 Author: Angela Kühner The original title: NS-Erinnerung und Migrationsgesellschaft: Befüchtungen, Erfahrungen und Zuschreibungen(Einsichten und Perspektiven, Bayerische Zeitschrift für Politik und Geschichte, 1(8), pp. 52-65) The articles deals with a specific part of the pilot-study (see Kühner et al. 2008) on teachers’ and students’ experiences and representations, i.e. with the dimension of a migration-society. The author suggests to use the idea of “a society of migration as a context,” instead of the “migrants as target group.” This approach allows the author to work out several ways in which the students and teachers position themselves towards the national-socialist past of German society, and how the attribution of guilt, shame or esponsibility to several groups of “Others” serves as an interactive pattern in a migration society. Migration can therefore offer on one hand a tool to project their own fears or feelings, but on the other hand, it can also offer an opportunity for dialog and a higher degree of reflexivity on the past and the present.

Constructions of Generational Relations: Childhood and the Theme of National Socialism in Primary-School Education Year of publication: 2012 Author: Alexandra Flügel The original title: Konstruktionen des Generationalen Verhältnisses: Kindheit und das Thema Nationalsozialismus im Grundschulunterricht(Kinder und Zeitgeschichte: Jüdische Geschichte und Gegenwart, Nationalsozialismus und Antisemitismus, Supplement 8, pp. 75–84) This is a qualitative study, based on the results in Fügel 2009, of German primary school children’s communication about Nazism and the Holocaust. It demonstrates how interwoven these exchanges are with general German memory discourses about these topics, but also how the children already at the age of 9–10 reflect upon their need to learn about this dark side of German history.The above abstract is taken from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Education Research Project.

Culture of Peace and Education for Democratic Citizenship Year of publication: 2006 Author: Jose Tuvilla Rayo The Culture of Peace understood as the synthesis concept - sum of human rights, democracy, disarmament and sustainable human development - demands, as a humanizing response of globalization, important efforts of educational systems towards the achievement of four world social contracts ( Lisbon Group, 1995): the contract of basic needs aimed at suppressing inequalities, the cultural contract aimed at promoting tolerance and dialogue between cultures, the contract of democracy aimed at a system of world government; and, the Earth contract to promote stable and lasting human development. To do this - remembering Juan Carlos Tedesco (2001) - learning to live together, one of the pillars of 21st century education, can not be maintained in the exclusive domain of merely rhetorical adherence. 
And the Right to the City? Approaches to Racism, Patriarchal Domination and Feminist Strategies of Resistance in Cali, Colombia Year of publication: 2015 Author: Vicenta Moreno Hurtado | Debaye Mornan This article seeks to give visibility to some spatial strategies of resistance developed by black women in the predominantly black district of Aguablanca District (DA), in eastern Cali, Colombia, against the systematic violence they are daily subjected to. We contextualize their practices within the systematic violence of displacement, paramilitaries terror and spatial segregation in the city. It also seeks to discuss how black women resist stigma, political marginalization and death in a city divided along racial and gender lines. The questions that guide this article are: What is the role of racism and patriarchal domination in the production of “geographies of violence” in Cali? What are the strategies of resistance developed by black women in these topographies of violence? Ultimately, the article seeks to fulfill a gap in academic discourses that silence on black women’s social suffering and that regard them as disorganized, a-political and passive victims. 
Education and Social Cohesion in Latin America: A Micro-political Perspective Year of publication: 2014 Author: Silvina Gvirtz | Jason Beech Corporate author: Universidad de San Andrés | Arizona State University This article analyses the relation between education and social cohesion in Latin America from a micropolitical perspective. Even though we acknowledge the relevance of the macro and mezzo levels, we argue that the political decisions that are made at the school level are crucial to understand the contribution of educational systems to social cohesion. We suggest that the relation between social cohesion and school micropolitics can be analysed in two dimensions: the first is related to the access and permanence of children in school, while the second is related to the curriculum. The article concentrates on the second level by analysing the relation between the curriculum and social cohesion from a local, a national, and a global perspective. 
Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis This article examines the growing relationship between security and education, particularly in the light of the UK government’s Prevent Duty that seeks to tackle radicalization in a variety of milieus, including universities. However, rather than seeing this process as being merely one-way, through a so-called securitization of education, what is explored here is the dialectic between these two spheres. It is suggested that a heightened sensitivity to the supposed consequences of inflammatory rhetoric on the well-being of supposedly suggestible or vulnerable students has been in existence within education for quite some time.
