Ep 61 Wolff Peace – Aristotle & Malala Yousafzai: What does it mean to be political—and who gets to belong?

from Peace Is Here with Avis Kalfsbeek · host Avis Kalfsbeek

In this episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek revisits Aristotle’s enduring vision of the political life: one rooted in virtue, participation, and civic education. But with that vision came exclusion—women, slaves, and foreigners were barred from the polis. Enter Malala Yousafzai, who defied a Taliban bullet to fight for girls’ education and global citizenship. Through her story, we explore how access to learning becomes a form of political empowerment—and why it’s essential to building peaceful societies.
