Alumnae

Several Teachers College alumnae have made significant contributions to the Peace Education Center's work and continue to help develop the field of peace education.

Q’Jette Whitworth. Q’Jette Whitworth recently completed an M.A. at Teachers College in International Educational Development with a concentration in Peace Education. Her current research focuses on how peace education pedagogy is and can be implemented in the current standards based public education system. Her other research interests include women’s and children’s issues in India. Q’Jette’s educational philosophy is rooted in Freirian practice. She has always sought to learn from and communicate with others. Henna art, puppetry, Middle Eastern dance, languages, and conversations about social issues with every person willing to talk with her are just a glimpse of her various hobbies.

Tiffany Hunter. Tiffany Hunter is completing her M.A. at Teachers College in International Educational Development with a Peace Education concentration. In the past Tiffany has used peace education pedagogy while teaching elementary school in southern California. She has also been involved in humanitarian and development work in Central and South America. Her current research interests include human rights education in post-colonized societies and child development and socialization. On a lighter note, Tiffany loves dogs, pizza, painting, and indie rock music. Some of those together but certainly not all of them at once!

She has worked running youth leadership development, service learning and cross cultural communication programs in New Hampshire and the Caribbean, and as well as with education development organization, Educa in Peru.
