Harry Dyer - Böcker

Drawing on chapters from a selection of authors from the fields of education, philosophy, political science, and sociology this book presents provocations on how citizenship might be experienced, conceptualised, expressed, and practiced in a range of settings.Comprised of thirteen chapters by a group of international academics, the book engages with the concepts of ‘citizenship’ and ‘political agency’, as well as forms and expressions of citizenship, to consider how the practice of citizenship can be extended to move beyond mainstream political discourses. Discussions of decolonisation, race, disability advocacy, sexual health, protest, and democracy examine how citizenship and belonging are enacted in a range of international contexts. In order to explore these issues, the book draws on a range of empirical, theoretical, political, and speculative discussions from a range of perspectives. Throughout, it provides a critique of dominant conceptions of citizenship and explores how citizenship might be re-conceptualised and re-fashioned.This volume is an essential read for academics, researchers, postgraduate students, policy makers, and teachers interested in reframing citizenship education to enhance a sense of belonging in our uncertain times.
