Enacting Equitable Global Citizenship Education in Schools

Lessons from Dialogue between Research and Practice

Herausgegeben: Lillo Kang, Sarah; McIntosh, Shona

Beschreibung

Offering contributions and vignettes from teachers, school leaders, and scholars, this volume purposefully dismantles practitioner-academic divides to invite dialogue around diverse understandings of global citizenship education (GCE).

Recognizing that the field of GCE is often explored and conceptualized by educators and academics in silos, this book confronts this issue by focusing on how schools, educators, and researchers can together support the enactment of GCE in international and national settings. In doing so, issues of westernization, inequality, access, and divergence between GCE policy and practical implementation can be overcome. The novel dialogical format links together theory, practice, and lived experience to create discourses between voices that are rarely connected. Ultimately, this volume offers important insights for those aiming to make equitable GCE a reality in schools worldwide and illustrates the value of collaborative dialogic exchange.

This text will benefit scholars, academics, and students in the fields of international and comparative education, the sociology of education, and citizenship more broadly. Those involved with multicultural education policy and citizenship in the context of political sociology and social policy will also benefit from this volume.

Rezensionen

"This 'glorious experiment' in dialogue across silos will provoke both scholars and practitioners to ask how to move beyond privilege in global citizenship education."

-- Kathryn Anderson-Levitt, Professor Emerita, University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA

"This book makes a valuable and innovative contribution to the increasingly important field of global citizenship education, drawing on the enthusiasms and expertise of authors with very different experiences from both academic and practitioner backgrounds. In adopting the novel approach of including dialogue between authors, with a focus on very topical content generated by experienced contributors, the editors - each

of whom has been recognised by a prestigious international research award - have ensured that the title will make an important and very readable contribution to our understanding of this rapidly developing field."

-- Mary Hayden, Professor of International Education, University of Bath, UK

"This exceptional text extends the concepts and practices associated with multi-perspective educational opportunities. The matched authors make visible and give voice to their lived experiences through powerful dialogues that connect them, and they offer to us as citizens living and learning in our interdependent global society. As the authors co-construct and contribute to critical consciousness, their stories are reinforced by four interwoven threads of an effective education: knowing, doing, living, and giving...encompassing the third space shared by all peoples, places, and purposes."

-- Nancy P. Gallavan, Professor Emerita, University of Central Arkansas, USA

"The topic of Global Citizenship Education is a highly contested one, as the numerous publications in the area bear witness. This book not only extends the range of views and interpretations of the concept but develops significantly those ideas and the ways in which they may be implemented in schools within national and international contexts. The Editors, both recognised as experienced teachers and respected researchers in international education, have brought together a wide range of contributors (academics and practitioners) and have skilfully engaged them in critical dialogue which, refreshingly, leads to further insights and encouragement to all those involved in teaching and researching in this important field for all schools worldwide."

-- Jeff Thompson, Professor, CBE, University of Bath, UK
