This edited book is the first full-length volume exclusively
devoted to new research on the challenges and practices of teaching
global issues. It addresses the ways that schools can and do
address young people's interest and activism in contemporary global
issues facing the world. Many young people today are passionate
about issues such as climate change, world poverty, and human
rights but have few opportunities in schools to study such issues
in depth. This book draws on new research to provide a deeper
understanding and examples of how global issues are taught in
schools. The book is organized in two sections: (1) contexts and
policies in which global issues are taught and learned; and (2)
case studies of teaching and learning global issues in schools. The
central thesis is that global issues are an essential feature of
democracy and social action in a world caught in the thrall of
globalization. Schools can no longer afford to ignore teaching
about issues impacting across the world if they intend to keep
young people engaged in learning and want them to make their own
communities-and the greater world-better places for all.
