This volume, with nine original contributions, owes its existence to the Georg Arnhold International Summer School on Education for Sustainable Peace that took place in June 2015 in Braunschweig, Germany, jointly organized by the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research (GEI) and the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ).1 The Georg Arnhold Program on Education for Sustainable Peace was established at the Georg Eckert Institute in 2013 by Henry H. Arnhold to honor the legacy of his grandfather Georg Arnhold, a committed Germanpacifist from the city of Dresden, and comprises a guest professorship, an annual summer school and symposium, and focuses on educational media and curricula in post-conflict and transitional societies.
Change and Continuity in British columbian Perspectives as Illustrated in Social Studies Textbooks from 1885 to 2006
(New York: Berghahn, 2014-06-03) Broom, Catherine
This paper presents an overview of British Columbia’s (B.C.) educational history interweaved with descriptions of textbooks. Focusing on social studies textbooks, this article explores change and continuity in the history of public schooling, paying attention to whether citizens were conceptualized as active, passive, or patriotic citizens. It identifies four key periods: the establishment of public schools in B.C., the rise of the progressivist movement in the 1930s and reaction to it, advocacy of Bruner’s structure of disciplines in the 1960s, and pendulum swings in philosophic orientations in the latter part of the twentieth century. The article illustrates connections between contemporary philosophies and textbooks, and identifies continuity and change in the content and aims of the textbooks.
Islam and Muslim Cultures in Quebec French-language Textbooks over Three Periods: 1980s, 1990s, and the Present Day
(New York: Berghahn, 2014-01-03) Oueslati, Béchir; Mc Andrew, Marie; Helly, Denise
This article examines the evolution of the representation of Islam and Muslim cultures in textbooks in Quebec. Results indicate significant improvements in the new secondary school history textbooks both quantitatively (for they contain more information about pillars, key concepts, and relations with Christianity and Judaism) and qualitatively (on account of their depth, fewer negative views than in the 1980s, and fewer factual errors than in the 1990s). The positive role played by Muslim scientists in preserving old knowledge and enriching it is also recognized. However, textbooks still view Islam as a religion of submission, proscriptions and forced conversion, and fail to recognize diversity within Islam and Muslim cultures.
The Reduction of Islam and Muslims in Ontario's Social Studies Textbooks
(New York: Berghahn, 2014-01-04) Mehrunnisa, Ahmad Ali; Mc Andrew, Marie; Oueslati, Bechír; Quirke, Lisa; Salem, Nashwa
Representations of Islam in Ontario’s social studies textbooks portray a dehistoricized view of a religion that is disconnected from other monotheistic religions. The varied and complex socio-political and ideological locations of Muslims in historical and current contexts are reduced to simplistic, often negative representations, either as irrational aggressors or victims of poverty and underdevelopment. More nuanced, historically grounded, and multifaceted representations are called for, in order to both reflect and promote a more inclusive society in Ontario.
