Queen Elizabeth II and the Africans
The road to Queen Elizabeth II’s implementation of African reforms was rough, especially in the first two decades following her ascension to the throne. In this book, Raphael Chijioke Njoku examines Queen Elizabeth II’s role in the African decolonization trajectories and the postcolonial state’s quest for genuine political and economic liberation since 1947. By locating Elizabeth at the center of Anglophone Africa’s independence agitations, the account harnesses the African interests to tease out the monarch’s dilemma of complying with Whitehall’s decolonization schemes while building an inclusive and unified Commonwealth in which Africans could play a vital role. Njoku argues that to gratify British lawmakers in her complex and marginal place within the British parliamentary system of conservative versus reformist, Elizabeth’s contribution fell short of African nationalists’ expectations on account of her silence and inaction during the African decolonization raptures. Yet ultimately, the author concludes, she helped build an inclusive and unified organization in which Africans could assert and appropriate political and economic autarky.

Die Frauen der Red-Power-Bewegung
Die Studie greift aktuelle gesellschaftliche Themen wie Digitalisierung, fehlende weibliche Repräsentation in Erinnerungskulturen und die männliche Prägung des kulturellen Gedächtnisses auf. Anhand eines exemplarischen Falles untersucht Rachel Huber, wie man einseitige Meistererzählungen mit den bislang unsichtbaren Seiten der Geschichte ergänzen kann. Sie geht den Spuren von historischen Akteurinnen und Zeitzeuginnen der Red-Power-Bewegung, dem indigenen Widerstand in den USA in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren, auf sozialen Plattformen wie Facebook, Twitter und Instagram nach und vergleicht diese mit den Spuren in analogen Archiven in den USA und Europa. Dadurch macht sie sichtbar, dass Red-Power-Aktivistinnen massgeblich für den Erfolg des politischen Widerstandes waren.

Sustainability Frontiers
Education for sustainable development - the educational offshoot of the concept of 'sustainable development' - has rapidly become the predominant educational response to the global environmental crisis. This book applies a critical lens to the field and finds it wanting in many regards. Largely accepting the prevailing neo-liberal global marketplace agenda, many academics still shy away from confronting rampant consumerism as a key factor in fomenting an unsustainable world. The neo-liberal agenda emphasizes technological, scientific, and policy dimensions, paying insufficient heed to social and axiological domains. Pivotally, it continues to embrace a mechanistic world view rather than a holistic or ecological one and, as such, appropriates problem as cure in its proposals and programs. Its discourse is overwhelmingly occidental, occluding the voice of the South. The book's contributors speak from the borderlands of sustainability-related education and offer insights, ideas, and propo
Countering online hate speech
The opportunities afforded by the Internet greatly overshadow the challenges. While not forgetting this, we can nevertheless still address some of the problems that arise. Hate speech online is one such problem. But what exactly is hate speech online, and how can we deal with it effectively? As with freedom of expression, on- or offline, UNESCO defends the position that the free flow of information should always be the norm. Counter-speech is generally preferable to suppression of speech. And any response that limits speech needs to be very carefully weighed to ensure that this remains wholly exceptional, and that legitimate robust debate is not curtailed.
Beyond Civil Rights
Shortly after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Daniel Patrick Moynihan authored a government report titled The Negro Family: A Case for National Action that captured the attention of President Lyndon Johnson. Responding to the demands of African American activists that the United States go beyond civil rights to secure economic justice, Moynihan thought his analysis of black families highlighted socioeconomic inequality. However, the report's central argument that poor families headed by single mothers inhibited African American progress touched off a heated controversy. The long-running dispute over Moynihan's conclusions changed how Americans talk about race, the family, and poverty. Fifty years...
Curriculum for Justice and Harmony
Barton and Ho present a global vision of social and civic education, one that reorients the field toward justice and harmony. Drawing from diverse philosophical and cultural traditions, as well as empirical research, they introduce curriculum principles designed to motivate and inform students’ thoughtful and compassionate deliberation of public issues. This book argues that the curriculum must prepare young people to take action on issues of justice and harmony—societal ideals that are central to all communities. Effective action depends on deliberation characterized by emotional commitment, collaborative problem-solving, and engagement with diverse perspectives and forms of expression....
OECD Digital Education Outlook 2021 Pushing the Frontiers with Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Robots

Science Education Towards Inclusion
This is the first book dedicated to inclusive science education from an international perspective. The topic is getting more and more important in science education and science education research. In many countries, different researchers are focusing on inclusion. However, sometimes it is not clear what is meant by the term "inclusion"; often, inclusion is reduced to the perspective of special needs education. Thus, the book presents not only the special needs perspective, but a broader view on inclusion and diversity, like ideas from second language learning or intercultural pedagogy that are combined with science education and science education research. Each chapter is written with the go...
