About this book
This handbook brings together a range of global perspectives in the field of critical studies in education to illuminate multiple ways of knowing, learning, and teaching for social wellbeing, justice, and sustainability. The handbook covers areas such as critical thought systems of education, critical race (and racialization) theories of education, critical international/global citizenship education, and critical studies in education and literacy studies. In each section, the chapter authors illuminate the current state of the field and probe more inclusive ways to achieve multicentric knowledge and learning possibilities.
Reviews
“More than a just book, these thirty-three chapters collectively provide a thought-provoking critical device for deconstructing and resisting the effects of an unequal globalization on education policy and practice. A must-have reference book on every intellectual’s shelf committed to a decolonial and social wellbeing through a critical educational development.” (Massimiliano Tarozzi, Professor of Education, University of Bologna, Italy, and UNESCO Chair on Global Citizenship Education in Higher Education)
“This handbook is appearing at a critical time in human history when a pandemic has highlighted human suffering and existing inequalities globally, but it has also provided the opportunity to break with the past and embark on a new era. This book is a major contribution to the significant role of education in the transformative learning process.” (Ratna Ghosh, James McGill Professor and William C. Macdonald Professor of Education, McGill University, Canada)“There is a dominant voice in this handbook and that is a postcolonial emphasis seeking to deepening and widening the role of critical theories and critical studies in education. Whether one wants to unpack, deconstruct, criticize, or utilize critical theories, there is no question that this handbook will offer fertile ground for explorations and understanding of contemporary educational theories.” (Carlos Alberto Torres, Distinguished Professor and Director of the Paulo Freire Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, USA)
