This chapter discusses how global citizenship education (GCE) can progress and connect matters of theory and critique to pedagogical practices informed by critical pedagogy by making the most of civic valor as an approach to political challenges, allowing hope and politics to occupy a space defined by morals, values, and public actions that tackle the motion of everyday experience and the woes of social ills with the might of individual and collective opposition.

GCE as described by the scholars in this book could offer educators and students new knowledge, values, and different future visions that do not adhere to straightforward narratives of economic development (but still are critically engaged with its narrative) (Bosio, 2020).

Call for Papers (CFP) in Special Issue of Citizenship Teaching & Learning (CTL): 'Philosophical, Ethical and Pedagogical
By: Emiliano Bosio
Subjects: Education, Philosophy, Sociolinguistics
Dear colleagues, Distinguished Professor Yusef Waghid and I would like to invite you to contribute an article to a new Special Issue we are co-editing. Title is: ‘Philosophical, Ethical and Pedagogical Visions of Global Citizenship Education: Critical Perspectives from International Educators’. The special issue will be published in Citizenship Teaching & Learning (CTL) https://www.intellectbooks.com/citizenship-teaching-learning
For this special issue, we invite international scholars to share perspectives, challenges, and strategies for envisioning philosophies, ethics and pedagogies of GCE that would help students to move beyond individualistic, passive, de-politicised and complacent to the status quo tendencies allowing them to understand and taking action regarding matters of injustice, inequality, power, oppression and exclusion that appear globally and locally as a consequence of growing neoliberalism.
Thus, we position the discussion around philosophical, ethical and pedagogical visions in GCE within a critical, transformative and de-colonial paradigm informed by the values and knowledge of critical pedagogy ingrained in social justice.
Feel free to contact me for more details. Please feel free to circulate this CFP with your network.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks, with appreciation.

Book Launch: 'Conversations on Global Citizenship Education' Edited by Emiliano Bosio
About this Event
This stimulating online discussion event marks the launch of the new book 'Conversations on Global Citizenship Education: Perspectives on Research, Teaching, and Learning in Higher Education', edited by Development Education Research Centre alumnus Emiliano Bosio.
Emiliano, along with three of the book's contributors (Yusef Waghid, Maria Guajardo, and Hans Schattle) will explore the book’s key themes and findings and address the questions:
- What is Global Citizenship Education?
- Why are we in research, teaching and learning if not to be able to help enrich the lives of all students, both in the Global North and Global South?
The event will be chaired by DERC's Director, Doug Bourn.
Format
This event is to be hosted via Zoom. Registered participants will be emailed a link in the days before the event, and also 30 minutes before as a reminder. Time after the presentations will be given over to a Q&A with participants.
The book
The new 13 chapter volume, published by Routledge, brings together the narratives of a diverse array of educators who share their unique experiences of navigating GCE in the modern university. Conversations focus on why and how educators’ theoretical and empirical perspectives on GCE are essential for achieving an all-embracing GCE curriculum which underpins global peace. Drawing on the Freirean concept of "conscientization", GCE is presented as an educational imperative to combat growing inequality, seeping nationalism, and post-truth politics.
Attendees will be issued with a 20% discount for the book via the chat function during the event. To contact the Book Editor: Emiliano Bosio, [email protected].
Intended audience
This event, and the book itself, will be of interest to educators who are seeking to develop their theoretical understanding of GCE into teaching practice, researchers and students who are new to GCE and who seek dynamic starting points for their research, and general audience who are interested in learning more about the history, philosophy, and practice of GCE.

Values, Knowledge and Curriculum in Global Citizenship Education
Guest Edited by:

Education
William Gaudelli, Lehigh University
Submit full draft of manuscript (up to 7000 words, APA style) for consideration by January 15, 2021 (more information below)
Global citizenship education (GCE) calls for the education of values and knowledge that help learners to become informed and responsible global citizens. Yet there has been relatively little coverage on how educators in different geographic locations perceive GCE and implement it into curricula and classroom practices (Bosio, 2020). By focusing on these areas and following Torres and Bosio’s (2020) proposal that GCE can be “an essential tool to not only build understanding across borders and cultures but to advance our social, political, economic, and environmental interconnectedness necessary to address global and local issues”, this special issue seeks contributions that help us to better understand if and how GCE can be a pedagogical approach which has the potential to go beyond developing students’ basic sense of interconnectedness and broadening their cultural horizons, important as they are, to critically and reflectively locating the discourse in the context of globalization (Bosio & Torres, 2019; Torres, 2017; Gaudelli, 2016).
We ask: How do educators understand the role of GCE? What pedagogical approaches to GCE do educators employ in their classes? How do educators support the values and knowledge of global citizenship in all curriculum areas? What do educators see as the key essential values and knowledge that students should be helped to develop through GCE? To address these and other related questions, the special issue welcomes both theoretical and empirical perspectives from the Global North and the Global South that investigate the ways in which educators perceive the values and knowledge of GCE and how their pedagogy adapts to it.
The special issue invites contributors to extend critical
consideration of GCE beyond Western-centric and neoliberal
conceptions, and attempts to expand the definition of GCE and to
think through its future possibilities. Therefore, we particularly
welcome submissions that look at the ways in which and the extent
to which educators encourage learners to develop critical values
and knowledge such as critical consciousness and awareness of
injustices, both environmental and social. We also welcome papers
that describe other forms of values and knowledge educators feel
they are promoting in their students in GCE teaching if not the
ones detailed above. Collectively, the special issue attends to the
full range of possible GCE pedagogical responses to current
societal challenges (e.g., Covid-19), and therefore it engages with
the implications of different envisaged futures – including
progressive and critical ones.
Deadlines
January 15, 2021: Full draft of manuscript (up to 7000 words, APA style), including articles for the Viewpoints/Controversies, Open File, and Cases/Trends sections, should be submitted before January 15, 2021 using the Editorial Manager system: https://www.editorialmanager.com/pros/default.aspx
Note: Indicate that you are submitting your manuscript for consideration in the special issue, “Values, Knowledge and Curriculum in Global Citizenship Education”. Please follow the journal’s standard submission guidelines.
All the submissions will be externally reviewed (double-blind peer review) and fast-tracked, with a planned publication date by the end of 2021.
