DESCRIPTION:A half-day conference discussing Schooling as Violence\, featu
 ring keynotes by Professor Lynn Davies and Professor Clive Harber.\n\n*KEY
 NOTES*\n\n*Professor Lynn Davies*\n\nI look at the role of schooling in jo
 urneys into violent extremism\, and at current educational measures to int
 errupt such pathways.  Our research on former extremists and their familie
 s (far right and Islamist) confirms a hugely complex mix of factors which 
 predispose people to radicalization.  Neither schooling nor church/mosque 
 appears protective.  Work on PVE in schools focuses on challenging the bla
 ck and white thinking that characterizes extremism\, through programmes of
  integrative complexity and value pluralism\, as well as by creating posit
 ive conflict.\n\n*Bio*\n\nLynn Davies is Emeritus Professor of Internation
 al Education at the University of Birmingham and Co-Director of the social
  enterprise ConnectFutures.   Her interests are in education and conflict\
 , and in education and extremism\, and she has done research and consultan
 cy in a number of conflict-affected states such as Afghanistan\, Bosnia\, 
 Angola and Sri Lanka.  Work in UK includes evaluating programmes to counte
 r radicalisation\, a project interviewing former extremists about their ba
 ckgrounds\, and training of young people and teachers in preventing violen
 t extremism.  Her books include _Education and Conflict: Complexity and Ch
 aos_ (2004)\, _Educating Against Extremism_ (2008) and _Unsafe Gods: Secur
 ity\, Secularism and Schooling_ (2014).  In October 2014 she was awarded t
 he Sir Brian Urquhart award for Distinguished Service to the United Nation
 s and its goals by a UK citizen.\n\n*Professor Clive Harber*\n\nThis talk 
 will examine and discuss different types of violence in schools globally a
 ccording to their sources  - whether they are externally generated\, inter
 nally generated by omission or directly generated internally. It will then
  put forward  three explanatory factors helping to cause violence in socie
 ties before analysing how schools contribute to these three factors. \n\n*
