Cosmopolitan Education and Inclusion Human Engagement and the Self - Ebook A2

This book expands understanding of cosmopolitan education that has the potential to cultivate deliberative pedagogical encounters in universities. The authors argue that cosmopolitan education in itself is an act of engaging with strangeness, otherness, difference and inclusion/exclusion. What follows is the engendering of inclusive human encounters in which freedom and rationality – guided by co-operative, co-existential and oppositional acts of resistance – can be exercised. The chapters centre around the enactment of universal hospitality, unconditional engagement, difference, intercultural learning, democratic justice and openness to develop a robust and reflexive defence of cosmopolitan education. This book will appeal to scholars of cosmopolitan education as well as democratic and inclusive education.
