Salmon-Letelier, Marlana; Russell, S. Garnett – Education, Citizenship and Social Justice, 2022
Human rights education (HRE) is an emerging practice across formal and informal educational sectors worldwide.

Tristan Bunnell; Nicola Savvides – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2024
The continuously growing field of private English-speaking international schooling has always involved a dichotomy of approach.

The UWCs began in 1962 and now number 18 globally…

Nuraan Davids; Yusef Waghid – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
Students, through teaching and learning, must reflect on what they do not know. It is only when they recognise what they know, and what they do not, that they will awaken to their own curiosity. The more they can open themselves to others and their epistemologies, the deeper their own self-reflection in relation to others. In this way, engendering…

F. Tyler Gidney – ProQuest LLC, 2024
A number of social and ecological justice educators have long recognized the need for educational institutions to foster the development of a critical interest in civic engagement. They also have recognized the lack of appropriate education for students who are already civically engaged. One popular way to address this context in higher education…

Pérez, Franklin C. – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2022
In this paper, I assert that professors can develop transformative pedagogies from exposure to social injustice in everyday work and teaching or from studying it in graduate programmatic and course settings. I make this assertion based on data from a qualitative study where I interviewed five public university professors (n= 5) from humanities and…

Matolino, Bernard – Transformation in Higher Education, 2020
Philosophy teachers owe their students a little more than mere formal instruction of topics popular in philosophy. What they owe their students is largely influenced by philosophy's claims to be a discipline that is principally dedicated to the study and fostering of wisdom. Therefore, there is an obligation to be wise on the part of philosophy…
