Tartalmi leírás:
As the UNESCO Chair in Global Learning and Global Citizenship Education at UCLA and as an Honorary Fellow of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), it is a pleasure to present here some of the working hypotheses and arguments on global citizenship and sustainability that I have presented in books on the subject (Torres, 1998, 2017). 2 These hypotheses, once they have been tested through logical and empirical analysis, may eventually become a theory. For the Frankfurt Schools theorists, one criterion for a critical theory is that it be explanatory, practical, and normative. For Horkheimer, a theory is also critical to the extent it seeks human emancipation, “to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them (Horkheimer, 1982, p. 244). As background for those who are unfamiliar with my work, my theoretical research focuses on: the relationship between education, culture and power, the interrelationships of economic, political and cultural spheres, and the multiple and contradictory dynamics of power that make the field of education one of continual conflict and struggle. My work, if it can be summarised in a sentence, studies the relationships between education and power at multiple levels of interaction. The concepts of Global Citizenship Education and Sustainability are intimately related to the narrative constructed by the Millennium Development Goals (United Nations, 2000), the Global Education First Initiative of UN Secretary General Ban-Ki-moon (United Nations, 2012) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (United Nations, 2015), the latter representing synthesis of and improvement on the two previous documents. As I see it, the SDG represents the first global utopia of the 21st century.
