About

Cheryl Lynn Duckworth, Ph.D., is a professor of Conflict Resolution at Nova Southeastern University. She has lived in Zimbabwe and Paraguay, and published and presented globally on her two passions, peace education and peace economics, exploring ways to transform the economic, political, social and psychological root causes of war and violence. In Sept. 2018, she was interviewed by acclaimed journalist Dan Rather on Dan Rather’s America about her research on the teaching of 9/11.  She has also given interviews as an expert for NPR and the New York Times.  Recently she partnered with Broward Co. Public Schools on implementing interfaith dialogs and youth-led peace projects.  She also serves as a Trustee on the Board of the Alliance for International Education.
 
Selected publications include her book which explores the role of dignity in social movements, Land and Dignity in Paraguay, and an article on her implementation of critical peace education curriculum in a juvenile detention home. A proponent of engaged scholarship, she also co-edited Conflict Resolution and the Scholarship of Engagement: Partnerships Transforming Conflict, which examines how engaged scholarship can enhance the field of conflict resolution.  She published Teaching About Terror: 9/11 and Collective Memory in US Classrooms, which analyzes the narrative today's students are receiving about 9/11, and the implications of this for global peace and conflict.  Most recently she has been writing about challenges with implementing and sustaining peace and human rights education, as well as the role of schools in preventing hate crimes and violent extremism. 
 
Dr. Duckworth has trained hundreds of students, teachers and community leaders in peace education and conflict resolution both in the US and internationally. Currently she serves as the faculty advisor of NSU's Peace Education Working Group. 
 
Duckworth teaches Qualitative Research Methods, Foundations of Conflict Resolution, History, Memory and Conflict Resolution, and Peace Education. She is active in the International Studies Association and the Comparative and International Education Society. As a model of engaged scholarship and student-centered curriculum, she also developed a Global Hybrid Course which examined peace education and peace building in Morocco. She blogs at Teach for Peace and you can follow her on Twitter @cherylduckworth.
