Enacting Equitable Global Citizenship Education in Schools : Lessons from Dialogue Between Research and Practice

Offering contributions and vignettes from teachers, school leaders, and scholars, this volume purposefully dismantles practitioner-academic divides to invite dialogue around diverse understandings of Global Citizenship Education (GCE). Recognising that the field of GCE is often explored and conceptualized by educators and academics in isolation, this book confronts this issue by focusing on how schools, educators, and researchers alike can support the enactment of GCE in international and national settings and, in doing so, overcome issues of westernization, inequality, access, and divergence between GCE policy and practical implementation. Offering real-life narratives and research-based practices through a novel dialogical format, the book promotes rarely heard perspectives and ideas on GCE. Ultimately, the volume offers important insights for those looking to make GCE a reality in schools the world over, and illustrates the value of dialogic exchange in this endeavour. This text will benefit scholars, academics, and students in the fields of international and comparative education, the sociology of education, and citizenship more broadly. Those involved with multicultural education policy and citizenship in the context of political sociology and social policy will also benefit from this volume.
