Preview Belonging in Changing Educational Spaces: Negotiating Global, Transnational, and Neoliberal Dynamics
Belonging in Changing Educational Spaces This book explores the impacts on personal and professional, local and global forms of belonging in educational spaces amidst rapid changes shaped by globalization. Encouraging readers to consider the idea of belonging as an educa- tional goal as much as a guiding educational strategy, this text forms a unique contribution to the feld. Drawing on empirical and theoretical analyses, chapters illustrate how educational experience informs a sense of belonging, which is increasingly juxtaposed against a variety of global dynamics including neoliberalism, transnationalism, and global policy and practice discourses. Addressing phenomena such as refugee educa- tion, large-s cale international assessments, and study abroad, the vol- ume’s focus on ten countries including Japan, Sierra Leone, and the US demonstrates the complexities of globalization and illuminates possibili- ties for supporting new constructions of belonging in rapidly globalizing educational spaces. This text will beneft researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in international and comparative education, multicultural edu- cation, and educational policy more broadly. Those interested in the sociology of education and cultural studies within education will also beneft from this volume. Karen Monkman is Professor Emerita of Education at DePaul University, USA.
