Many face the direct and indirect effects of violence, displacement, militarisation, surveillance, and censorship. At the same time, as student activism for peace, justice, and social change grows, universities around the world are becoming sites of heightened tension, where academic freedom often collides with state and institutional responses to issues deemed controversial. This book critically examines the role of higher education teaching in both fostering peacebuilding and, at times, contributing to the escalation of conflict. It explores how teaching and learning can help disrupt cycles of violence, address structural injustices, and cultivate sustainable cultures of peace. The volume explores theoretical foundations, regional contexts, pedagogical innovations, and institutional responses that shape the role of higher education in either perpetuating conflict or fostering sustainable peacebuilding across diverse global settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in \u003ci\u003eTeaching in Higher Education.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Kester \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor of Comparative International Education and Peace\/Development Studies and Director of the Education, Conflict and Peace Lab at Seoul National University.
