Critical Global Educator - Global Citizenship Education As Sustainable Development

An acknowledged challenge for democratic, humanitarian education is its perceived lack of philosophical and theoretical foundation, often resulting in low academic status and reduced prestige. A rich tradition does however exist, and this book explores a number of theoretical approaches, including Critical Social Theory, Critical Discourse Studies and Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), to provide critical global educators with a tool for self-evaluation.
