| Abstract: | This paper examines the differential approaches to higher education for peacebuilding in border cities of Colombia and Mexico, both facing high civilian victimisation rates due to violence. Colombia's long-standing, officially recognised conflict has enabled universities to actively transform curricula, conduct research on violence, and implement community support programmes. In contrast, Mexican higher education institutions are beginning to acknowledge their role in an unrecognised war, focusing on research to understand violence and its effects on communities. This study highlights valuable practices from Colombia that can inform and enhance the engagement of higher education in Mexico's peacebuilding efforts. |
