In this thought-provoking book, a diverse range of educators,
activists, academics, and community advocates provide theoretical
and practical ways of activating our knowledge and understanding of
how to build a human rights culture. Addressing approaches and
applications to human rights within current socio-cultural,
political, socio-legal, environmental, educational, and global
contexts, these chapters explore tensions, contradictions, and
complexities within human rights education. The book establishes
cultural and educational practices as intrinsically linked to human
rights consciousness and social justice, showing how signature
pedagogies used by human rights practitioners can be intellectual,
creative, or a combination of both. Across three sections, the book
discusses ways of bringing about holistic, relevant, and compelling
approaches for challenging and understanding structures of power,
which have become a global system, while also suggesting a move
from abstract human rights principles, declarations, and
instruments to meaningful changes that do not dehumanise and
distance us from intrinsic and extrinsic oppressions, denial of
identity and community, and other forms of human rights abuse.
Offering new critical cultural studies approaches on how a human
rights consciousness arises and is practised, this book will be of
great interest to scholars and students of cultural studies,
education studies, critical sociology, human rights education, and
human rights studies.
