Book excerpt: This book engages with human rights and human rights education (HRE) in ways that offer opportunities for criticality and renewal. It takes up various ideas, from critical and decolonial theories to philosophers and intellectuals, to theorize the renewal of HRE as Critical Human Rights Education. The point of departure is that the acceptable “truths” of human rights are seldom critically examined, and productive interpretations for understanding and acting in a world that is soaked in the violations these rights try to address, cannot emerge. The book cultivates a critical view of human rights in education and beyond, and revisits receivable categories of human rights to advance social-justice-oriented educational praxes. It focuses on the ways that issues of human rights, philosophy, and education come together, and how a critical project of their entanglements creates openings for rethinking human rights education (HRE) both theoretically and in praxis. Given the persistence of issues of human rights worldwide, this book will be useful to researchers and educators across disciplines and in numerous parts of the world.

Download or read book Critical Human Rights, Citizenship, and Democracy Education written by Michalinos Zembylas. This book was released on 2018-05-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Human Rights, Citizenship, and Democracy Education presents new scholarly research that views human rights, democracy and citizenship education as a critical project. Written by an international line-up of contributors including academics from Canada, Cyprus, Ireland, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and the USA, this book provides a cross-section of theoretical work as well as case studies on the challenges and possibilities of bringing together notions of human rights, democracy and citizenship in education. The contributors cultivate a critical view of human rights, democracy and citizenship and revisit these categories to advance socially just educational praxis and highlight ground-breaking case studies that redefine the purposes and approaches in education for a better alignment with the justice-oriented objectives of human rights, democracy and citizenship education. A critical response, reflecting on the issues raised throughout the book, provides a conclusion. This is essential reading for those researching these pedagogical forms and will be valuable to practitioners and activists in fields as diverse as education, law, sociology, health sciences and social work and international development.

Book excerpt: Despite the advent of the Age of Rights in the aftermath of World War II, a large number of people still live precarious and disposable lives due to war, poverty, and discrimination. Although human rights has become the common language of humankind, the violation of those rights has also become the common experience of many people in the world. How can we transform human rights knowledge and practice to respond to current and emerging questions of co-existence, dignity and justice? Critical Appreciative Dialogue: Pedagogy for Critical Human Rights Education critically analyses the shortcomings of human rights theory and highlights how to engage with multiple religious and philosophical traditions to transform the way we think, teach and act through human rights. The book synthesises ideas from diverse philosophical and religious traditions, insights from working with grass roots organisations in Africa, and research and teaching in tertiary academic institutions to present a locally sensitive and globally plausible approach to human rights education. It provides guidance and insight for students and practitioners alike.
