Reflection on Davies

Conflict as ‘ethnocide’ a denial of education.  Links between masculinity and conflict.  Conflict maintained by education reproducing the status quo.  Gender parity playing a role in state stability.

For education to have transformatory value it has to clean up its act and stop reinforcing causes of conflict e.g ethnic and gender stereotypes, acceptance of unequal opportunity.

Useful for validation or challenge of some assumptions re the intentions vs outcomes of development education.
