Produktbeschreibung
The handbook explores essential aspects of building a more equitable and inclusive society, ensuring every individual's right to a dignified, self-determined life without discrimination based on caste, creed, gender, culture, or nationality. It advocates for innovative pedagogical methods and evidence-based techniques in inclusive education. Each chapter emphasizes critical consciousness, reflection, sustainability, and humanitarianism as emerging paradigms, fostering a culture of free learning. This transformative approach empowers learners from passive recipients to active co-creators of knowledge and agents of change. Through diverse perspectives and insights from global experts, teacher educators, and researchers across countries like India, South Africa, Greece, Hungary, the USA, Canada, Bangladesh, Japan, and Germany, the book addresses disabilities, historically marginalized communities, socio-cultural minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, indigenous peoples, sexual and gender minorities, religious minorities, and other marginalized populations. It presents their challenges, needs, and future directions through a cross-cultural lens. The book's primary objective is to promote understanding and acceptance of diversity and inclusion globally, bridging gaps between countries and cultures. The book is designed to be of use to a wide range of professionals, researchers, teacher educators specializing in education, sociology, anthropology, and related fields. It is also intended for policy makers and practitioners involved in educational policy and curriculum development, as well as undergraduate and graduate students studying diversity, inclusion, and social justice.
