Education and Democratic Participation is an important and timely
contribution to the emerging debate surrounding the value of
educating citizens and communities in order to empower them to
participate in democratic change. Responding to the effects of
neo-liberal ideology on comprehensive education and public
services, this book examines the purposes and conditions for
reimagining an educated democracy. Arguing that social divisions
and cultural misrecognition have intensified to the point of
crisis, Ranson explains that a just society must create
opportunities for diverse, cohesive and tolerant neighbourhoods to
flourish. In order to achieve this, education will need to
reimagine learners as prospective citizens and as cooperative
makers of the democratic communities in which they live and work.
Showing that participation in public forums, councils and
associations can provide a real means of enabling members of
different communities to learn how to respect and value one
another, this book provides persuasive arguments that a broader
pedagogy of democracy is needed to confront the common dilemmas
facing society. This work is aimed at researchers, academics and
postgraduates, particularly those lecturing and studying in the
areas of education, the social sciences and politics. It will also
appeal to professional and practitioner communities in school and
college teaching, as well as in local authorities and related
public services.
