This stimulating online discussion marks the launch of the new book 'Conversations on Global Citizenship Education', edited by Development Education Research Centre (DERC) alumnus Emiliano Bosio.
Emiliano, along with three of the book contributors (Yusef Waghid, Maria Guajardo, and Hans Schattle) will explore the book’s key themes and findings and address the questions:
- What is Global Citizenship Education?
- Why are we in research, teaching and learning if not to help enrich the lives of all students, both in the Global North and Global South?
This event, and the book itself, will be of interest to:
- educators who are seeking to develop their theoretical understanding of GCE into teaching practice
- researchers and students who are new to GCE and who seek dynamic starting points for their research
- a general audience who are interested in learning more about the history, philosophy, and practice of GCE.
The event will be chaired by DERC's Director, Doug Bourn.
