New Perspectives On Education For Democracy

New Perspectives on Education for Democracy brings together diverse communities of education research in an innovative way to develop a nuanced understanding of the relationship between education and democracy. This book synthesises a range of theoretical, conceptual and empirical approaches to address the complex challenges faced by young people and societies in the twenty-first century. Each chapter provides accounts of local democratic encounters in education, while engaging with global debates and issues such as de-democratisation and growing social, economic and educational inequality. This book presents new ways of thinking about democracy, local-global enactments of democracy through teaching and learning, and future thinking for a new era of democracy. This book will be relevant for educators, researchers and policymakers who are interested in educational sociology, critical pedagogy and democratic education.
