The result is the number of chapters included in the reader which represent both theoretical and case studies contributions that analyze and critique the complex knowledge and learning focused scholarship of global citizenship education. We are immensely grateful to our contributors and we thank them for their submissions which we are sure will help illuminate the way forward in global citizenship education and research. On personal notes, we all like to thank our families for their continuing support. Thashika Pillay would like to express her special appreciation for her family who occasionally forced her away from her computer for some much needed home cooking and play time with her delightfully brilliant niece. She feels so privileged to be a daughter, sister and aunt. We also thank Michel Lokhorst and Jolanda Karada of Sense Publishers for their support and patience. ix
