This set of essays brings together scholars and practitioners from
different part of the world engaged in how ethical interpretations
of globalization, citizenship, and information might provide
insights into global relations and issues. This effort expands
information ethics work into a wider circle, as the subject is
examined by a purposefully diverse range of perspectives, from
philosophers, to social justice educators, to working librarians.
The book builds its arguments on both traditional scholarly and
professional sources as well as new ones, by necessity, for example
data leaked from software used by the Communications Security
Establishment, Canada's national cryptologic agency, to spy on the
Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy that were part of the leaked
Snowden data. The result is a work entwines cautionary tales with
possibilities for resistance and that expands our understanding of
citizenship and of the reshaping of public and private spheres. On
one level the book brings to light the expansion of globalization,
digital citizenship, and how the borders and boundaries of
citizenship as a national concern have been challenged by
globalized information systems and practices. On another level, the
book reveals ways public and private spheres have been reshaped
through colonialism, capitalism, and globalization.
Drawing on critical pedagogy, post-colonial analysis, hermeneutic
interpretation, and reconceptualist curriculum frameworks, the
twenty chapters in this edited collection address, from
interrelated perspectives, a gap in the scholarly literature on the
theory, practice, and policy of global citizenship and global
citizenship education. The book provides readers with analyses and
interpretations of the existing state of global citizenship
education in post-secondary institutions, and stimulates discussion
about the field at a time when there is an intense debate about the
current drive to "internationalize" tertiary education and the role
global citizenship education should play in that process.
International and interdisciplinary in its examination of
post-secondary global citizenship education, the book will be
useful in courses that focus on policy formation, curriculum
development and theorizing in the field.
This book emphasizes the inherently democratic nature of education;
from those who practice in higher education institutions and are
involved in decision-making, to those questioning the methods of
reform processes in those institutions. As they are faced with
increasing pressures to restructure and change their organizations
in line with global institutional demands the foundations upon
which their leadership and governance are based are called into
question. This book takes a critical approach to understanding
higher education leadership and governance. The overarching
questions asked in this book are: how has higher education come to
be assembled in contemporary governance practices within the
context of global demands for reform and how are issues of justice
being taken up as part of and in resistance to this assemblage?
Global Citizenship Education explores key ideas and issues within
local, national and global dimensions. Including examples and case
studies from across the world, the authors draw on ideas,
experiences and histories within and beyond 'the West' to
contribute to multifaceted perspectives on global citizenship
education. In concise chapters, the authors set out the key
concepts and debates within the field. Global citizenship education
is contextualized within key educational frameworks, including
citizenship education, global education, development education and
peace education. Edda Sant, Ian Davies, Karen Pashby and Lynette
Shultz explore the different ways in which global citizenship can
be taught, learned and assessed in formal and informal contexts.
Including examples from a wide range of education institutions,
chapters provide overviews of policy making and international
practices borne out of different approaches to global citizenship
education. With each chapter including a summary of key issues, an
annotated list of key resources, an exercise for students and a
further reading list, Global Citizenship Education will aid
understanding of this complex and debated area of study.
