Call for Papers | Issue 7(2025): Restorative Justice, Nonviolence and Education

2025-09-04

This call for papers invites contributions on the intersections of anarchism, nonviolence, and resilience as conceptual and practical responses to violence and coercion. Both anarchism and pacifism can be read as via negativa traditions that refuse domination and violent means, while experimenting with voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and civil resistance. Historical resources—from Philo of Alexandria’s Essenes to Kropotkin’s associative visions—illustrate long-standing attempts to construct peaceful communities, even as theorists such as William James and Clausewitz highlight the enduring dilemmas of war, discipline, and the “fog of violence.”

We seek papers that critically examine how nonviolence and anarchism may offer not merely utopian ideals but practical frameworks for justice, solidarity, and social transformation. Potential areas include: the relationship between resilience and nonviolent education; the role of communication and empathy in conflict resolution; critiques of militarism and transactional conceptions of politics; and the possibilities of associative civil society beyond the state.

By drawing together philosophical, historical, and contemporary perspectives, Issue No. 7(2025) aims to explore how traditions of nonviolence and anarchism might inform constructive alternatives to violence in theory and practice.

Keywords: anarchism; nonviolence; resilience; pacifism; justice; solidarity, restorative justice, education

We invite you to contribute by 15 Oct., production of the Issue starts 1st December 2025.

Issue 7.1 (2025) brings together scholarly contributions that critically explore nonviolence and anarchism not merely as utopian aspirations but as viable and practical frameworks for justice, solidarity, and social transformation. Contributions address a range of themes, including the relationship between resilience and nonviolent education; the role of communication and empathy in conflict resolution; critiques of militarism and transactional conceptions of politics; and the potential of associative civil societies and organizations in development and peacebuilding. By integrating philosophical, historical, and contemporary perspectives, Issue 7.1 (2025) examines how traditions of nonviolence and anarchism may inform constructive alternatives to violence in both theory and practice.

Issue 7.2 (2025) provides space for non-thematic contributions that engage with applied ethics in educational contexts and reflect on principles of sound institutional governance. Key areas of inquiry include the teaching of business ethics, intercultural dialogue for climate action, ethical management of cyber environments in higher education, digital ethics in Rwanda, and value reorientation within Nigerian tertiary institutions, among others.
