Teaching Ethically in the Global South

Beschreibung

This book provides much-needed perspectives on ethics in education by focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of scholars from the Global South. It challenges traditional, Western-centric ethical frameworks in education by emphasising the importance of Indigenous knowledge systems, decolonial approaches and culturally relevant ethical practices. By addressing the ethical challenges and dilemmas in teaching through the lenses of Africa, Latin America and other regions of the Global South, the book opens a critical dialogue about how these regions have shaped and continue to shape ethical norms in their educational systems. The inclusion of diverse ethical perspectives makes this work distinctive, offering a rich, multifaceted view of teaching ethics that goes beyond conventional Western paradigms.
