The purpose of this article is to consider how higher education responds to conflict on campus and in the community. Moving beyond the victim/perpetrator paradigm prevalent in the literature on education in conflict contexts toward the transformative capacity of education, this research suggests that public universities may develop mechanisms that orient the institution toward capacity and consensus building—constructs associated with infrastructures for peace. Findings from comparative case studies conducted in Côte d’Ivoire and Kenya at two public universities demonstrate that both intentional and indirect policies were cultivated to contend with and possibly transform the conditions for localized conflict and begin to theorize university infrastructures for peace.

促进非洲和平的大学基础设施

本文的目的是考虑高等教育如何应对校园和社区中的冲突。超越冲突背景下教育文献中普遍存在的受害者/肇事者范式，转向教育的变革能力，这项研究表明，公立大学可能会制定机制，将机构导向能力和共识建立——与和平基础设施相关的结构。在科特迪瓦和肯尼亚两所公立大学进行的比较案例研究的结果表明，有意制定和间接政策都是为了应对并可能改变局部冲突的条件，并开始将大学基础设施理论化以促进和平。
