Reinventing Aspects of Multicultural Education under the Shadow of Globalisation
Oikonomidoy, Eleni
Pedagogy, Culture and Society, v19 n3 p329-344 2011
Drawing insights from the imaginary journey of an international education student, this essay aims to sensitise multicultural educators to attend to three dimensions that could be considered critical for the reinvention of aspects of the field under the pressures of globalisation. These dimensions include: (1) the promotion of multicultural education's informed spatial flexibility; (2) the utilisation of dialectic critical views as navigation tools; and (3) the endorsement of cosmonaut identities for teachers, at the educational and cultural levels. The essay concludes with practical implications of the proposed framework for multicultural education classes and with questions for further debate. (Contains 1 note.)
