Description

Education is central to the project of individual and collective identity formation, national development and international relations, and is crucial in moments of crisis. What should be the agenda of study and action for education in such times? Identities and Education engages with this crucial question, seeking to examine and problematise our contemporary moment. Through the heuristic of the concept of identity, it specifically aims at creating a space for understanding our current challenges and considering the potential of education to address them. Contributors in this volume explore identity, crisis and education, not only in interdisciplinary, inter-sectional, relational and eclectic ways, but also through comparative lens. The book includes contributions from leading scholars from Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Portugal, the UK, and the USA and covers issues and themes including fear, hope, refugee education and global citizenship education.

A very valuable book with some intellectually profound chapters that appeal to readers interested in thinking about the ways in which the field of comparative education is being reconfigured in times of change and huge challenges for humanity.

Comparative Education
This collection is a timely addition to comparative thinking in education, precisely at a time when the project of Europe, and indeed the nation state, is being challenged by economic and technological transformations, new dynamics of migration and mobility and aggressive identity politics, all of which are affecting education and its role in societal development.
The volume brings together an outstanding group of scholars who are able to explore these challenges across Europe and beyond. Their contributions are rich in theory, methodological innovation and empirical evidence. An essential work for scholars and students alike.
