PAXsims

Conflict simulation, peacebuilding, and development

Who are you?

We started Paxsims so that we could discuss the use of simulations in learning and we weren’t entirely sure there would be an audience for it, but we were pleasantly delighted that you found us here and that we are slowly building a small community of people interested in this topic.

We thought it might be helpful to invite you to introduce yourself in comments and let us know what you would like discussed on this blog. This isn’t just for us to know who is reading, but also for other readers that are interested in these kinds of things – we’d like to develop this community a bit and want you to be part of it.

So, who are you? What do you do? What do you find interesting about simulations in learning? What are you working on? What could you use more of? Should we be posting more regularly or less regularly?

    Hi, I’m a student at McGill just finishing up an honours degree in international development studies. I’m primarily interested in the use of participatory education methods for social justice/peace education. I’ve been following this blog casually and have found what I’ve read very stimulating and it’s contributing to my thoughts about what I might pursue in coming years.

    Thanks for doing this!

    Hi Megan, welcome!

    Yes, I think Rex really finds some interesting applied political science learning going on. Glad you enjoy the site!

    Alright, folks, who else is here? Don’t be shy.

    I’m a librarian, and I’m very interested in methods for fostering the development of critical thinking skills in educational settings. I also find this blog an enjoyable way to learn more about applications of political science research. Thanks for sharing your work!
