    Dread and its Defeat: The Sunlight Pilgrims as a Journey from Fear Towards Fearlessness
    (In Search of Fearlessness Research Institute, 2021) Pokhrel, Bhawana
    Dread is a unique form of fear, which challenges the normal consciousness in human beings. The drastic change in climate depicted in The Sunlight Pilgrims (2016) by Jenni Fagan that takes place in the then future, is a glimpse of an ongoing eco-dread to the entire world at present. As the story progresses we see the characters dread but then overcome it by developing the coping strategies which are needed at present and in the future, on the part of each human being residing on earth. To substantiate my claims about the characters' fears and their departure towards fearlessness, I draw ideas from Desh Subba, R. Michael Fisher, Wayne A. Davis, Joseph LeDoux, Barbara Bickel and argue that even at the vortex of fear and amidst dread, humans revive their innate capacity to overcome fear and survive it.

    Philosophy With Children as a Way of Overcoming the "Shadow Adults Cast Over Childhood" and the "Pedagogy of Fear"
    (In Search of Fearlessness Research Institute, 2021) Kizel, Arie
    This article introduces two ideas with contractive affects and effects the - "shadow adults cast over childhood" and the "pedagogy of fear". These act to order and frame the conceptual problems that the traditional educational system poses. There is an offering solution, one that is based on a Philosophy with/for Children (PwC/P4C). While both limit and contract the space children inhabit, PwC/P4C is an active, dynamic pedagogy that illuminates the child's world.
