New educational materials!

There has been a striking lack of elementary, secondary, post-secondary, and general public education about the wars and their profound impacts. Our new campus initiative aims to change that. Educators: check out our back-to-school educational resources and take the pledge to teach the Costs of War. And students, find resources to help advocate for alternatives to the United States’ militarized status quo. Costs of War Project research supports an interdisciplinary approach to teaching on the post-9/11 wars, so this community is open to instructors, students, and researchers from all fields.

Counter-recruitment and the Campaign to Demilitarize Public Schools

Scott Harding and Seth Kershner are the authors of a new book, Counter-recruitment and the Campaign to Demilitarize Public Schools (Palgrave Macmillan). Drawing on dozens of interviews with activists conducted between 2012 and 2014, their book describes the various tactics used to demilitarize public schools in the United States. They also discuss case studies of successful organizing and advocacy to challenge the presence of military programs in educational settings. For more info, visit: http://www.palgrave.com.
