"By taking students out of their comfort zones, filed-based courses – which are increasingly popular in secondary and postsecondary education – have the potential to be deep, transformative learning experience. But what happens when the field in question is a site of active or recent conflict? In Conflict Zone, Comfort Zone, editors Agnieszka and Susan F. Hirsch highlight new approaches to field-based learning in conflict zones worldwide. As the contributors demonstrate, instructors must leave their own comfort zone of traditional pedagogy to meet the challenges of field-based education. Drawing on case studies in the United States and abroad, the contributors address the ethical considerations of learning in conflict zones, evaluate the effectiveness of various approaches to teaching these courses, and provide guidelines of effecting change. They also explore how the challenges of filed-based classes are magnified in conflict and post conflict settings, and they outline the dilemmas faced by those seeking to resolve those challenges. Finally, filling a crucial gap in existing literature, the contributors identify best practices that will assist instructors in developing successful field-based courses in conflict zones."--Back cover.
