We are not "scared" of educators but do understand the fear that
many may and do feel, and why some people may believe that
"education" has a disproportionately negative effect on them and
those close to them. With so much wealth, technological prowess,
innovation, and economic development, why do we still have
marginalization, social inequalities, conflict, mass incarceration
and generational poverty? The connection to democracy, Education
for Democracy (EfD) and social justice is, for Carr and Thesee,
clear, and this volume interweaves a narrative within these themes
based on a Freirian theoretical backdrop. Aiming to deconstruct,
re-imagine and plan for a more meaningful, vibrant,
social-just-based democracy that problematizes the normative,
representative, hegemonic democracy in place that holds sway over
formal relations, institutions, processes and education is a
central preoccupation for the authors. This book presents a vision
for transformative education and EfD, seeking to cultivate,
stimulate and support political and media literacy, critical
engagement and a re-conceptualization of what education is, and,
importantly, how it can address entrenched, systemic and
institutional problems that plague society. Based on over a decade
of empirical research in a range of contexts and jurisdictions, the
authors strive to link teaching and learning with agency,
solidarity, action and transformative change within the conceptual
framework of a critically-engaged EfD.
