Global citizenship in international schools? The lexis of justice meets the grammar of privilege
06 Mar 2025, 12:30 – 13:30
In this webinar, Alex Gardner-McTaggart will explore the notional operationalisation of global citizenship education (GCE) in international schools.
Alex aims to juxtapose the values of GCE with the operational realities of international schools, set as they are, in a competitive marketplace. In this webinar, the messaging and imagination of international schools is captured as narrative language, and interpreted through this lens.
The event will be chaired by Fran Hunt, Director of the Development Education Research Centre. Time after the presentation will be given over to a Q&A and participants will have a chance to register questions for the speakers.
This event will be particularly useful for scholars and prospective teachers.
