Cosmopolitan Education and Inclusion: Human Engagement and the Self Tapa blanda - 2021

Descripción de contraportada

This book expands understanding of cosmopolitan education that has the potential

to cultivate deliberative pedagogical encounters in universities. The authors

argue that cosmopolitan education in itself is an act of engaging with strangeness,

otherness, difference and inclusion/exclusion. What follows is the engendering

of inclusive human encounters in which freedom and rationality - guided

by co-operative, co-existential and oppositional acts of resistance - can be exercised.

The chapters centre around the enactment of universal hospitality, unconditional

engagement, difference, intercultural learning, democratic justice and

openness to develop a robust and reflexive defence of cosmopolitan education.

This book will appeal to scholars of cosmopolitan education as well as democratic

and inclusive education.
