Biography
Andrew Peterson is Senior Lecturer in History and Civic Education at the University of South Australia, Australia.
Paul Warwick is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Futures, Plymouth University, UK.
This book is timely and highly relevant to all those with an interest in global learning. It encourages proper exploration of key themes and the challenges and complexities within this work, whilst providing stimulating, useful and - most of all - hopeful ideas for teachers and educators to take forward in practice.
Andrea Bullivant Lecturer in Teacher Education and Global Learning Adviser, Liverpool Hope University/Liverpool World Centre, UK.
I recommend this book as compulsory reading for anyone interested in how education can encourage active and optimistic engagement with the wonders and challenges of the world as it really is: unique, diverse, and interconnected but currently also unequal and unsustainable. This valuable book certainly facilitates this crucial and timely discussion.
Mary Young. Senior Lecturer in Citizenship and Global Issues. University of Chichester, UK.
This is a wonderfully impressive book that will be of great value to all those involved in global learning. Peterson and Warwick provide refreshingly clear, insightful comments about the nature of globalisation, global citizenship and global education. Throughout there is a wealth of practical activities that will engage, inspire and educate. I strongly recommend this book.
Professor Ian Davies, University of York, UK.
