Dehumanisation as spiritual harm
Throughout history, humanity has endured violent atrocities that have left long-lasting scars on communities and societies. This paper contends that understanding the multifaceted impact of dehumanisation – especially its spiritual dimension – is essential for restoring and regenerating global communities. Simone Weil’s philosophical and theological writings form the basis of this paper, which offers an innovative relational interpretation of her…
Intergenerational Dialogue and Inquiry for Collective Healing, Social Justice and Communal Well-Being
This paper explores how intergenerational dialogue and inquiry (IDI) may help break the silence about past brutality and contribute to collective healing, social justice and communal well-being. The specific historical contexts that it is concerned with are transatlantic slavery and colonisation, and the continued legacies of contemporary racism. Global communities impacted by these tragedies often experience silence between the generations about…
Collective Healing to Address Legacies of Transatlantic Slavery
In this article, we show how pathways to justice and reconciliation pertaining to the transatlantic slavery should begin with collective healing processes. To illustrate this conclusion, we first employ a four-fold conceptual framework for understanding collective healing that consists in: (1) acknowledging historical dehumanizing acts; (2) addressing the harmful effects of dehumanisation; (3) embracing relational rapprochement; and (4) co-imagin…
Legacies of Slavery and their Enduring Harms
This article provides a much needed inquiry into the legacy of slavery from an interdisciplinary perspective, including the historical, socioeconomic, political, and the epistemic. It makes an important distinction between the legacy of slavery and its persisting damages. By investigating this legacy’s effects on peoples, communities, and societies, it highlights the imperative of situating the pains and sufferings of historical traumas within co…

Education as humanisation
In this literature review, we explore the potential role of education in supporting peacebuilding and societal transformation after violent conflict. Following a critical analysis of the literature published by academics and practitioners, we identify the notion of humanisation (as in the seminal works of Paulo Freire and others) as a unifying conceptual core. Peacebuilding education as humanisation is realised by critical reflection and dialogue…
Education as humanisation
In the context of post-conflict and divided societies working towards building peace, it has been widely recognised that education can play a critical part in either fermenting community division o
The homecoming
For over a decade, 50,000 Chinese students have come to study each year in the UK, and the majority of them have since returned and settled back in China. An understanding of their return journey and how relevant their overseas learning is to their home life and work environment is a key to the re‐visioning of the internationalisation of higher education in the UK. Using in‐depth qualitative and narrative interviews carried out in China with eigh…
Overseas students' intercultural adaptation as intercultural learning
In the context of increasing recruitment of overseas students by British higher education (HE) institutions, there has been a growing need to understand the process of students' intercultural adaptation and the approaches that can be adopted by British academic institutions in order to facilitate and support these students' learning experience in the UK. Drawing upon one‐year of in‐depth qualitative research investigating the experience of a smal…
