Publisher's Synopsis
The Palgrave Handbook of Citizenship and Education provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the current field of citizenship and education. It draws on insights from a range of disciplines to explore historical, philosophical, theological, sociological and psychological ideas on how the two concepts intersect and is international in scope, authorship and readership.
Five sections provide a clear outline of:
- Foundational thinkers on, and the theories of, citizenship and education;
- Citizenship and education in national and localised contexts;
- Citizenship and education in transnational contexts;
- Youth, advocacy, citizenship and education;
- Contemporary insights on citizenship and education;
An essential resource for scholars interested in how theorizations of citizenship, civic identity and participatory democracy are,and could be, operationalized within educational theories, educational debates, educational curricular, and pedagogic practices.
