The focus on cultural violence, or the ideas and values that legitimize and normalize violence, is a relatively novel approach in violence prevention pedagogy one reinforced by peace study’s understanding of violence, psychological research on reducing prejudice, and nonviolence theory and practice on social change. Also, there is the focus on resistance. Initially, we viewed this primarily as a means to reduce the extent to which our students might be overwhelmed by the material and to deepen their critique of violence. But, as we explored the connections between art and activism, and the multiple entry points this approach provided, our students became more meaningfully aware of the violence in their real and virtual lives. With this realization, the potential impact of adopting a pedagogy that actively embraced nonviolence became apparent.
