72 authors from around the globe and explores the critical role of education in
shaping a more just and equitable world. Contributors from diverse backgrounds
offer innovative perspectives on how education and society can be transformed
to address the pressing social, economic, political, and ecological crisis and
challenges of our time.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Drawing on theoretical frameworks and practical experiences,
the authors present a range of alternative approaches and non-reformist
reforms, including anti-racist and anti-patriarchal education,
climate/environmental and decolonial education, cosmopolitical learning,
critical multicultural education and critical pedagogy, democratic schools,
holistic education, Indigenous education and knowledge, peace education, and
education for social justice.</p>
