Description

About the Author Douglas Bourn is Professor of Development Education and Director of the Development Education Research Centre at University College London, UK. Product Description This book introduces students to education as a vehicle for social change. Douglas Bourn begins by providing historical context of how education has been linked to social change around the world and moves on, in the second section of the book, to discuss potential theoretical and conceptual frameworks for thinking about education for social change. The third sections covers how social change has been explored and promoted within different areas of learning, including schooling, youth work and higher education. The fourth section looks at the opportunities and challenges for promoting education for social change and reviews current international initiatives including those of global citizenship and climate change. Key theorists are introduced throughout the book including Althusser, Bourdieu and Bernstein, Dewey, Gramsci, and Freire. Each chapter begins with an opening question and ends with bulleted concluding points, questions for discussion and a further reading list. The book includes a foreword written by Tania Ramalho (State University of New York, USA). Review "There is growing awareness of the need for constructive social change. Education could play a major role, but what it was missing, is now offered by this must-read book: A pedagogy of global social justice that would empower teachers, academics, and civil society organizations across diverse settings." --Namrata Sharma, Adjunct Professor of Education, State University of New York, USA"In his inspiring book Doug Bourn engages academics and practitioners with the ongoing debate over interpretations of social change approaches. His pedagogy of global social justice demonstrates in a hard-hitting, insightful and heartening way that a more just and sustainable world is possible through education." --Massimiliano Tarozzi, Full Professor, University of Bologna, Italy"With this book, Douglas Bourn makes a valuable contribution to the burgeoning field of global justice and education. By pulling together a range of traditions within the social reconstructionist camp, this work provides an expansive view of the democratic purposes of schooling. Highly readable, this timely scholarship promises to strengthen the relationship between schools and contemporary world issues." --John Myers, Associate Professor of Social Science Education, Florida State University, USA
