Global Justice In and Through Education

2018-08-15

Hosted by the Center for Critical Democracy Studies at the American University of Paris (AUP)


Organizer: Julian Culp (AUP).

Dates: November 29th - 30th 2018.

Location: Combes Student Life Center C-104 – 6, rue du Colonel Combes, 75007 Paris.

Description:

Contemporary political philosophers and philosophers of education tend to focus on theorizing the interconnections between the concepts of education and justice at the level of the nation-state. The workshop explores the implications of shifting this level of analysis from the national to the global level. It considers how to conceive of global educational justice and examines the role of education in fighting global injustices.
