Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Social Studies in Education

This handbook uses social studies as a frame through which to map out challenges faced by education on a global scale. The editors and contributors use UNESCO's Reimagining our Futures Together: A New Social Contract for Education (2022) as a starting point from which to explore history, theory and methodologies of global social studies in education. Featuring contributions from researchers based in Australia, Brazil, China, Finland, France, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Sweden, the UK and the USA the book covers the technical, economic, societal, environmental, cultural and geopolitical challenges faced by education systems on a global scale. It critically discuses the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on SDG4, and includes chapters covering digitization, AI, privatization, marketization, social networks, the climate crisis, migration, colonialism, racism, slavery, and war.
