Curriculum in International Contexts
This book is an exposition of how political, cultural, historical, and economic structures and processes shape the nature and character of curriculum landscapes globally. By developing theoretical connections and providing contextual background, Kumar explores how colonialism and imperialism, state-led ideological control, and the wave of neoliberalism and capitalism insidiously impact the process of curriculum development in different parts of the world. Kumar also underscores how intellectual movements such as Marxism and postmodernism have shaped curriculum theory in varied political and economic settings. By emphasizing the connections between and among diverse cultural and political conceptualizations of curriculum, this volume contributes to the internationalization of curriculum studies discourses.

Critical Perspectives on Teaching in the Multilingual University
This book critically and reflectively engages with the ‘Language Problem’ in the contemporary multilingual university. It paints a complex picture of the lived multilingual realities of teachers and students in universities across geographies such as Pakistan, Timor-Leste, South Korea, Bangladesh, Somaliland, Afghanistan, Fiji, Colombia, and the UK (including Northern Ireland) and focuses on three overall analytic themes: language and colonial epistemologies, language policies and practices, and language and research. Globalisation, global knowledge economy, and neoliberal governance has significantly impacted higher education by elevating colonial languages, particularly English, to a g...
Learning from Difference: Comparative Accounts of Multicultural Education
This book analyses the experiences of multicultural education in nine very different international settings uncovering insights from a vast variety of educational contexts. Taking a multi-critical approach in reporting and discussing problems faced by increasingly multicultural and multilingual societies the nine case studies reflect radically different assumptions about what counts as ‘ difference’ and what should be the appropriate ways for education systems to respond to differences. While each country’s approach seems unique, analysis of the divergent treatments of internal population diversity elicits a genuinely global instance of the increasingly shared phenomenon of cultural pl...
Researching Interculturality in Post-Colonial Contexts
This volume critically explores intercultural "encounters" between Indigenous and Eurocentric education in the post-colonial contexts of Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. In this book, interculturality in education is considered in a variety of educational and social settings, including teacher, community, secondary, and higher education, as well as language revitalization efforts, from a wide range of analytical and methodological perspectives. The contributors examine historical and emerging challenges in initiatives to expand or redesign education through interculturality/ies, highlighting the work that remains on the educational agenda while also identifying obstacles perpetuated by ideologies ...
Violences et contrôle de la violence au Brésil, en Afrique et à Goa
L'histoire du Brésil, des espaces lusophones d'Afrique et de Goa, est émaillée de violences multiples. Aujourd'hui, même dans les systèmes politiques démocratisés, la question de la sécurité continue à mettre à mal l'Etat de droit et les libertés publiques, alors que se multiplient les espaces géographiques et sociaux que les Etats ne contrôlent plus. Les travaux réunis dans cet ouvrage présentent les enjeux sociaux des violences, leurs criminalisations, leur omniprésence en politique, ainsi que les débats et discours qu'elles suscitent.
Direitos Humanos e Educação: Igualdade e Diferença na Escola – Um Diálogo com Professores da Educação Básica
Por que publicar um livro sobre Igualdade e Diferença na Escola – um diálogo com professores da Educação Básica? A formação de professores sempre esteve distante das temáticas que pudessem contribuir com a conscientização e análise crítica das demandas sobre inclusão, direitos humanos e as diferenças no contexto da escola e da formação docente. As diferenças, as diferentes culturais e as exclusões sociais foram sempre tratadas, muitas das vezes, como "normais" em relação aos contextos da sociedade que ficaram à margem dos direitos básicos e da sua essência como ser humanos; pessoas com deficiência, surdos, crianças, jovens, negros, mulheres, índios e toda a divers...
