The Longings and Limits of Global Citizenship Education (eBook, PDF)

The Moral Pedagogy of Schooling in a Cosmopolitan Age

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an empirical study of global citizenship education in ten secondary schools in the United States and Asia. Proponents seek to equip students with the consciousness and competencies necessary to make a world of universal benevolence, peace, and prosperity. However, many of the moral assumptions of global citizenship education are more complex and contradict these goals, and are just as likely to have the unintended consequence of reinforcing a more particular Western individualism. Dill argues that global citizenship education in its current forms has significant limits that proponents have not yet acknowledged, which may very well undermine it in the long run.
