Yesid Paez – Bath Spa University

Personal statement

Yesid is an educator with an interest in education and international development, with a particular emphasis on peacebuilding. His doctoral research delved into conceptualisations of peace emerging in communities affected by conflict in Putumayo, Colombia.

A crucial component of Yesid's research involved his ethical obligation to comprehend and assimilate insights from the experiences and perspectives of these communities regarding peace, conflict, and social justice. This allowed him to explore ways in which various educational sites navigate spaces of conflict and propose alternatives to counteract violent conflict and oppression.
