Book Cosmopolitanism and Inclusive Education Through 21st Century Disney Films

Download or read book Cosmopolitanism and Inclusive Education Through 21st Century Disney Films written by Ana Virginia López Fuentes and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By highlighting the links between cosmopolitanism and inclusive education, this book explores the potential of 21st-Century Disney films to tackle some contemporary social and cultural issues in order to promote inclusive values. This manuscript claims that the link between both fields is cosmopolitan education, which brings together the values and theories of cosmopolitanism and inclusive education. In particular, it examines three 21st-Century Disney animated films under a cosmopolitan lens to explore how they help to construct and reflect discourses about cosmopolitan issues such as geographical and cultural borders, global cities and climate change. The case studies were chosen on the basis of the Index for Inclusion: A Guide to School Development Led by Inclusive Values (Booth and Ainscow 2016), a document that aims to provide a new form of school curriculum adapted to 21st-Century social needs. The Index contains a list of sixteen inclusive values, which were used to determine the inclusive potential of the films. The inclusive values explored in each of the analyses were "community" in Tinker Bell and The Secret of the Wings (chapter two), "respect for diversity" in Zootopia (chapter three), and "sustainability" in WALL-E (chapter four). This book uses textual analysis to explore how these three films can be used to teach and promote cosmopolitan issues such as the roles and meanings of borders (chapter two), the global city (chapter three) and ecology (chapter four) in the classroom"--

Book Cosmopolitanism and the Age of School Reform

Download or read book Cosmopolitanism and the Age of School Reform written by Thomas S. Popkewitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cosmopolitanism and the Age of School Reform, noted educationalist Thomas Popkewitz explores turn-of-the-century and contemporary pedagogical reforms while illuminating their complex relation to cosmopolitanism. Popkewitz highlights how policies that include "all children" and leave "no child behind" are rooted in a philosophy of cosmopolitanism—not just in salvation themes of human agency, freedom, and empowerment, but also in the processes of abjection and the differentiation of the disadvantaged, urban, and child left behind as "Other."

Book Critical Approaches Toward a Cosmopolitan Education

Download or read book Critical Approaches Toward a Cosmopolitan Education written by Sandra R. Schecter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-29 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to reconceptualize teaching and learning in spaces with diverse populations of young people. Chapters focus on the schooling experiences and social and cultural adaptation issues of individuals who, through the meaning that they assign to their lived experiences, ascribe to multiple identity qualifiers. Contributors explore the impact of this cosmopolitan awareness on students, educators, and educational institutions, presenting issues such as curricular concerns around civic engagement, individual subjectivity versus social identity, and the convergence of context-specific policy and teaching environments on global dynamics in education reform. An emphasis on this understanding promises to better equip educators and policy-makers to plan instructional approaches and devise pedagogic resources that serve the needs and career aspirations of an expanding cohort of multifaceted learners.

Book Democratic Education as Inclusion

Download or read book Democratic Education as Inclusion written by Nuraan Davids and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political and social expectations are often stymied and distorted by individual and communal identities—creating vastly incongruent and unrelated lived experiences, often within the same context. Democratic Education as Inclusion explores how the existence and enactments of diversity continue to present ubiquitous epicenters of misreading, misrecognition, and missed opportunities for peaceful co-existence—whether in established, or nascent democracies. Nuraan Davids and Yusef Waghid study how the public sphere has never held the same meaning to all individuals or groups. As such, there are deep implications for differentiated experiences of citizenship, between those who are included in the center of the sphere, and those who are excluded on the margins. This book explains the dyadic relationship between inclusion and exclusion and how it is not limited to the public sphere, or to broader conceptions of democratic citizenship. It is as apparent in educational settings, presenting under-explored complexities not only for teaching and learning, but for the life experiences of participants in teaching-learning. Often the foundational norms put into place during educational initiations become the primary determinants of how young people conceive of themselves as citizens, and how they conceive of themselves in relation to others.

Book Global Citizenship Education

Download or read book Global Citizenship Education written by Sébastien Urbanski and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global citizenship education is an essential topic in an increasingly interconnected world. Indeed the need for inclusive and globally conscious education, embedded in cosmopolitanism, is recognised as a way to prepare individuals to navigate diverse cultures, address global challenges, and actively participate in a globalised world. Being both scientific and political, these challenges require an interdisciplinary exploration of citizenship education, merging sociology, philosophy, as well as education and training sciences. To do this, Global Citizenship Education: Modern Individualism under the Test of Cosmopolitanism offers a framework that integrates Durkheim's holistic approach with critical republicanism. The book is also rooted in the analysis of data collected through GlobalSense, a research project that focuses on preparing teachers to navigate the complexities of GCE within an international context. By presenting both a theoretical reflection and an analysis of an international training program within universities, this book can be of interest to academics, teacher trainers and (future) teachers themselves.

Book Education  Democracy and Citizenship Revisited

Download or read book Education Democracy and Citizenship Revisited written by and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÿThis book contains a revised collection of previously published articles spanning a period of five years (2004-2009) during which my original thoughts on democratic citizenship education have been developed. Central to this book is the notion that democratic citizenship education ought to be deliberative, compassionate and friendly in order that teachers and students (learners) may respect one another and take risks in and through their pedagogical encounters. In this way, hopefully, students and teachers may become more critical, explorative and engaging.

Book Cosmopolitan Managers

Download or read book Cosmopolitan Managers written by Santiago Iñiguez de Onzoño and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executive education is a billion dollar industry that has the potential to transform individual and organizational performance, but in too many cases the decision whether or not to lavish it upon any given manager comes down to whether the fear that they will leave if you don’t spend money on them is greater than the fear that they will leave if you do. Given that the future of your business, or your career, depends on developing your managerial talent to its fullest potential isn’t it time we took a serious look at how do you design and deliver an executive education program that is fit for purpose? Santiago Iñiguez is Dean of the prestigious IE Business School in Madrid – one of the world’s leading providers of executive education. From the impact of MOOCs to the evolution of new multi-dimensional strategic alliances between companies and a diverse range of international education suppliers, institutions, and consultancies, Iñiguez looks at how the future of executive education is changing to meet the needs and wants of top managerial talent. Part of the solution, Iñiguez argues, is to balance the technical, analysis-based “engineering” training that forms the basis of many senior managers’ initial study, with a more rounded, integrated approach that includes learning derived from the humanities, such as art and history. Illustrated with fascinating examples drawn from interviews with some of the most influential figures in business education and corporate training around the World, Iñiguez’s book delivers a unique perspective and valuable insights on what it takes to deliver world-class corporate training.

Book Promoting Inclusion in Education Abroad

Download or read book Promoting Inclusion in Education Abroad written by Nick J. Gozik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with While education abroad – including studying, volunteering, researching, and interning abroad – is increasingly emphasized as a critical factor in preparing undergraduates for a globally interconnected world, diversifying the pool of participants in such activities has proven challenging. Framed within the concept of “inclusive excellence” with the objective of promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity in higher education as foundational to educational excellence, the contributors present research and practices that have been proven successful in improving participation among groups of students traditionally underrepresented in education abroad.Broader participation in education abroad programming has been a perennial concern at numerous higher education institutions in the U.S., having prompted countless discussions in professional organizations and across campuses among faculty, staff, and students. Many have come to recognize that overseas opportunities are no longer a luxury and instead are a necessity for job seekers entering a more diverse, globally interconnected workplace.The volume offers a combination of research-based chapters and case studies from leading experts on the barriers that disproportionately impact specific groups of students, including: students with disabilities; first-generation college students; undocumented students; racial and ethnic minorities; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors; and males. The authors illuminate the issues which may inhibit education abroad participation, from individual to institutional, and present strategies reflecting a broad range of institutional contexts, resources, and needs.While there has been significant discussion and action to promote broader inclusion in education abroad, this is the first volume focusing on research and practice to achieve these ends, and is intended as a critical resource for practitioners and scholars alike.

Book The Humble Cosmopolitan

Download or read book The Humble Cosmopolitan written by Luis Cabrera and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cosmopolitanism is said by many critics to be arrogant. In emphasizing universal principles and granting no fundamental moral significance to national or other group belonging, it wrongly treats those making non-universalist claims as not authorized to speak, while treating those in non-Western societies as not qualified. This book works to address such objections. It does so in part by engaging the work of B.R. Ambedkar, architect of India's 1950 Constitution and revered champion of the country's Dalits (formerly "untouchables"). Ambedkar cited universal principles of equality and rights in confronting domestic exclusions and the "arrogance" of caste. He sought to advance forms of political humility, or the affirmation of equal standing within political institutions and openness to input and challenge within them. This book examines how an "institutional global citizenship" approach to cosmopolitanism could similarly advance political humility, in supporting the development of input and challenge mechanisms beyond the state. It employs a grounded normative theory method, taking insights for the model from field research among Dalit activists pressing for domestic reforms through the UN human rights regime, and from their critics in the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Insights also are taken from Turkish protesters challenging a rising domestic authoritarianism, and from UK Independence Party members demanding "Brexit" from the European Union-in part because of possibilities that predominantly Muslim Turkey will join. Overall, it is shown, an appropriately configured institutional cosmopolitanism should orient fundamentally to political humility rather than arrogance, while holding significant potential for advancing global rights protections and more equitable rights specifications"--

Book Cosmopolitan Education at Ross School

Download or read book Cosmopolitan Education at Ross School written by Christina D. Hinton and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each overarching skill develops through a series of steps of increasing complexity whereby skills are combined and differentiated at each level to form more sophisticated understandings at the following level. More research is needed to confirm and complete the learning pathways presented in this thesis, but the results of this study can guide further research in this area. Understanding how cosmopolitan skills develop can help educational policymakers and practitioners create developmentally appropriate learning objectives, curriculum, and assessments.

Book Inclusion  Diversity  and Intercultural Dialogue in Young People   s Philosophical Inquiry

Download or read book Inclusion Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue in Young People s Philosophical Inquiry written by Ching-Ching Lin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever-shifting cultural and linguistic landscapes in contemporary societies create new urgency for an intersectional thematic study of diversity, philosophy, and education. As educators, how do we transform the vision of cultural and linguistic diversity into a wealth of resources for learning? How do we actively engage cultural and linguistic diversities in philosophical inquiry with young people? How do we translate the philosophical notion of cultural and linguistic diversity into pedagogical practices? The chapters in this book respond to the task of teaching philosophy in the context of increased mobility in the new global reality. By complicating the situated and fluid nature of contemporary classrooms, this book challenges the normalizing tendency often associated with philosophy education. Each chapter offers a unique perspective in understanding the profound embeddedness of philosophy education in broader sociocultural contexts and prioritizes diversity in the classroom community of inquiry. By carefully incorporating a broad range of theoretical perspectives and empirical research, this book provides a rich resource for school teachers and educators who wish to engage diverse learners in philosophical inquiry. In doing so, it reaffirms the value of philosophy education as a proactive approach to democratic education.

Book Internationalising Programmes in Higher Education

Download or read book Internationalising Programmes in Higher Education written by Jeanine Gregersen-Hermans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses challenges that higher education institutions face when bridging the gap between internationalisation as a key university strategy and their delivery of interculturally competent and responsible graduates. Combining international case studies and research outcomes, it provides an in-depth understanding of the role educational developers can play in the internationalisation of higher education and in the provision of an internationalised learning experience for all students. The book situates international education in global and local contexts and contributes to the design and delivery of internationalised curricula in very concrete terms. In doing so, it suggests how academic staff may enhance the quality of their programmes by leveraging the opportunities of international classrooms where students have diverse academic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. The content of the book is therefore also foundational for continuing professional development (CPD) programmes that enhance staff competences for designing and teaching inclusive internationalised programmes and include topics such as: An international competence profile for educational developers Intercultural competence as a graduate attribute Internationalised curriculum design and delivery Intercultural group dynamics The role of languages in internationalised higher education classrooms Reflective processes for teaching and learning in the international classroom This book is essential reading and a go-to resource for any academic looking to internationalise their education programmes. It will also be of interest to those directly involved in curriculum development, learning, and teaching as well as those who have more strategic responsibilities within and beyond HEIs, or who are involved in higher education research.
