"Unlocking the World "proposes hospitality as a guiding ethic for
education. Based on the work of Jacques Derrida, it suggests that
giving place to children and newcomers is at the heart of
education. The primary responsibility of the host is not to
assimilate newcomers into tradition but rather to create or leave a
place where they may arrive. Hospitality as a guiding ethic for
education is discussed in its many facets, including the decentered
conception of subjectivity on which it relies, the way it casts the
relation between teacher and student, and its conception of
curriculum as an inheritance that asks for a critical reception.
The book examines the relation between an ethic of hospitality and
the educational contexts in which it would guide practice. Since
these contexts are marked by gender, culture, and language, it asks
how such differences affect enactments of hospitality. Since
hospitality typically involves a power difference between host and
guest, the book addresses how an ethic of hospitality accounts for
power, whether it is appropriate for educational contexts marked by
colonialism, and how it might guide education aimed at social
justice."
