1. LOOKING FOR MA PROGRAMMES IN PEACE STUDIES 

Hi there, 

I am a teacher. I teach English language, but I am very keen to have my MA
in Peace Studies. My interest in peace studies comes as a result of my
activities in peace, and I believe to be graduated from a university with
MA in peace studies will help me so much to establish peace education
among my students, who are very hungry for peace.

I am from Gaza Strip Palestinian National Autority Areas. If any one have
any idea where I can have my study I'll be thankful

With all my thanks to you, 

Ali Abu Shawish

2. SEEKING FUNDING SOURCES FOR HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION PROJECTS IN CENTRAL
AMERICA

Hello HREA, 

I wonder if there is anywhere on site that may assist with funding sources
for human rights education projects generally? We are in Central America
if you know of any particular sources for this sub-region.

Good work. Thanks much.

3. LOOKING FOR BOOK EDITOR 

Dear Colleagues, 

Richard Koenigsberg has contracted with a major scholarly publisher to
create and develop a Book Series entitled: IDEOLOGIES OF WAR, GENOCIDE AND
TERROR: Sources and Meanings of Political Violence in the Twentieth and
Twenty-First Century.

We seek an Editor for the first volume of this series entitled: DYING AND
KILLING FOR NATIONS: The Meaning of Warfare in the Twentieth and
Twenty-First Century.

This interdisciplinary volume will consist of papers from creative
scholars presenting research, insights and theories from the fields of
history, anthropology, psychology, political science, sociology and
military studies-with the goal of illuminating the causes and meanings of
an institution or activity whose persistence threatens the survival of the
human species.

Key elements of this position involve receiving and evaluating
submissions, working with authors to refine their contributions, and
helping authors deliver articles according to guidelines provided by the
publisher.

PLEASE RESPOND VIA EMAIL TO < > and/or call 718-393-1081 telling us why
you are qualified for this project and how you can contribute
significantly to its success.
