The thesis of this essay is that the institution of war could be abolished through a combination of Constructive Programs and Obstructive Programs. Good works alone won't end war. To transform dominator, warring cultures into egalitarian and nonwarring ones, Constructive Programs are needed to prepare the way, to establish the groundwork for a new lifestyle. But alone they will not result in a paradigm shift to a Gene Roddenberry-style Star Trek future on earth in which there is gender and racial equality, poverty has been eliminated, and conflicts are resolved by the rule of law instead of through military force. Paradoxically, Constructive Programs unless paired with the force of Obstructive Programs can enable dominator cultures to remain firmly in place. Moreover, to bring about a major social transformation we will need leaders to unite men and women as full partners in shaping a massive cultural shift to a more egalitarian, just, and nonwarring future.

Education in emergencies (EiE) is both a research "field in its infancy" and a rapidly "emerging  field" (Tomlinson & Benefield, 2005). This scoping study reviews a wide range of academic  articles and grey literature in the education in emergencies field to map current and past research  methodologies used by academics and practitioners. It identifies the unique successes and gaps in  the evidence base in order to support future academics and practitioners in conducting and  documenting research. This study concludes that ensuring sound ethical and rigorous reflective  research practices is critical to fill research gaps and to move EiE from infancy to a welldeveloped, reputable research field.
