Over the past seven decades, human rights education has blossomed
into a global movement. A field of scholarship that utilizes
teaching and learning processes, human rights education addresses
basic rights and broadens the respect for the dignity and freedom
of all peoples. Since the founding of the United Nations and the
adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948,
human rights education has worked toward ensuring that schools and
non-formal educational spaces become sites of promise and equity.
Bringing together the voices of leaders and researchers deeply
engaged in understanding the politics and possibilities of human
rights education as a field of inquiry, Monisha Bajaj's Human
Rights Education shapes our understanding of the practices and
processes of the discipline and demonstrates the ways in which it
has evolved into a meaningful constellation of scholarship, policy,
curricular reform, and pedagogy. Contributions by pioneers in the
field, as well as emerging scholars, constitute this foundational
textbook, which charts the field's rise, outlines its conceptual
frameworks and models, and offers case studies from Africa, Asia,
Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. The
volume analyzes how human rights education has been locally
tailored to diverse contexts and looks at the tensions and triumphs
of such efforts. Historicizing human rights education while
offering concrete grounding for those who seek entry into this
dynamic field of scholarship and practice, Human Rights Education
is essential reading for students, educators, researchers,
advocates, activists, practitioners, and policy makers.
