The Curriculum ─ Whose Internationalization?

This volume contains 10 essays on the problem of the internationalization of curriculum studies and issues like the definition of internationalization, whose internationalization it is, what language dominates it, whose voices have been silenced, and whose knowledge has been dismissed. Curriculum studies, education, and other scholars from the US, Jamaica, and Portugal examine topics like the production of knowledge; the work of Raúl Ferrer and Tao Xing, Korean philosopher Tasan Chong, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Indonesian curriculum theorist Ki Hadjar Dewantara, and Anton Makarenko; the relationship between Seikatsu Tsuzurikata and Freirean pedagogy; and Boaventura de Sousa Santos' Epistemologies of the South.
