«Global citizenship has become a buzzword in many institutions of higher education and yet, ironically, the concept is rarely subject to the rigours of scholarship one expects to find in the academy. This timely and important collection asks critical questions about what kinds of global citizenship post-secondary institutions can, and should, develop – and to what degree these efforts contribute to a more just, equitable, and non-violent world. Such questions are key to determining the role and purpose of higher education in shaping the future.» (Graham Pike, Dean of International Education, Vancouver Island University)
