The Palgrave Handbook of Citizenship and Education

by Andrew Peterson (Editor), Garth Stahl (Editor), Hannah Soong (Editor)

Overview

The Palgrave Handbook of Citizenship and Education provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the current field of citizenship and education. It draws on insights from a range of disciplines to explore historical, philosophical, theological, sociological and psychological ideas on how the two concepts intersect and is international in scope, authorship and readership.

Five sections provide a clear outline of:

• Foundational thinkers on, and the theories of, citizenship and education;

• Citizenship and education in national and localised contexts;

• Citizenship and education in transnational contexts;

• Youth, advocacy, citizenship and education;

• Contemporary insights on citizenship and education;

An essential resource for scholars interested in how theorizations of citizenship, civic identity and participatory democracy are, and could be, operationalized within educational theories, educational debates, educational curricular, and pedagogic practices.

Currently, his research projects and publications encompass theoretical and empirical studies of learner identities, gender and youth, sociology of schooling in a neoliberal age, gendered subjectivities, equity and difference, and educational reform. Of particular interest is the exploration of counternarratives to neoliberalism around “value” and “respectability” for working-class youth.

Hannah Soong, PhD is a Senior Lecturer and a Socio-cultural Researcher in the School of Education at the University of South Australia. Hannah’s research interests lie in the empirical studies and theorization of transnational mobility of families, international students, and migrant teachers, sociology of Asia’s literacy, and teacher identity work in an “East-meets-West” curriculum. Currently, she is exploring the transnational aspirations of middle-class and refugee-background parents on their children’s education and well-being in Asia and Australia. One key area is the investigation around developing ethical engagement with global shifts and relations in education.
