41.011 - Education, Democracy, and Citizen Justice

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

What do we understand to be the salient issues associated with democracy and education as these relate to justice for individuals and institutions in contemporary society? How do we negotiate differences in attitudes, beliefs, and practices; conceptualize and act on them in relation to our roles in a democracy; engage the broader domains of disagreement; and respond to the human experience and condition? How do we attempt to resolve tensions between citizenship, human rights, and an ever-increasing globalized world? What is the schooling and what are public discourses needed to promote democratic education?
