This book brings together key perspectives from scholars in the
Global South and Global North to illustrate diverse ways in which
the UN's Global Citizenship Education (GCED) agenda can promote
social justice and be used as a vehicle for negotiating and
learning about diverse and shared objectives in education and the
global public sphere. Recognizing the historical function of
education as a prominent public sphere site, this book addresses
questions around how forms of global education can serve as public
sphere sites in various contexts today and in the future.
Specifically, it questions established notions of education and
proposes new interpretations of the relationship between practices
of education and the public sphere to meet the needs of our
contemporary turbulent era and a post-2020 world. By offering
conceptual analyses, examples of policy and educational practices
which promote global learning, democratic citizenship, common good,
and perspective-taking, the text offers new critical understandings
of how GCED can contribute to the public responsibilities and roles
of education. Chapters consider examples such as non-formal adult
education at the Mexico-US border, teachers' responsibilities in
Japan and Finland, developments in education policy and practices
in Brazil, civic religious teachings in Canada, online learning in
the United States and China, and support to the participation of
women in higher education in Pakistan. Given its unique approach,
and the range of case studies it brings together, this book is a
timely addition to the literature on education in the global public
sphere. It will prove to be an invaluable resource for scholars
working at the intersections of global education and transnational
education policies, and for teachers involved in global education.
