The Global Education Policy Field

Theorization and Problematization
Herausgeber: Edwards Jr, D. Brent

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book challenges conventional approaches to global education policy (GEP) by exploring its often-overlooked onto-epistemic and religio-spiritual dimensions. Through eight chapters, scholars critically examine how fundamental questions of knowing, being, and worldview shape the field's theoretical foundations and practical implications.
