Series: SUNY series, Education in Global Perspectives

Reimagines global citizenship education by taking a relational approach, offering educators and scholars new frameworks to navigate complexity and foster meaningful learning experiences.

In an era of increasing polarization and complexity, The World in Us challenges conventional approaches to global citizenship education by offering a generative, critical framework for teaching and learning. Nicholas R. D. Palmer argues that true global engagement must move toward constructive, relational, and transformative action. Drawing on a diverse range of perspectives—including Australian Indigenous thought, the philosophy of Simone Weil, and Palmer's own teaching experience—the book introduces a host of empirically grounded concepts to rethink how we navigate global interconnection. With a balance of theory and practice, Palmer provides educators with practical tools to foster meaningful, inclusive, and contextually grounded global learning experiences. The World in Us is essential reading for scholars, educators, and policymakers seeking to bridge divisions in the field, the classroom, and the wider world.

Reviews for The World in Us: Teaching and Learning Through Global Citizenship Education

""A very welcome, highly readable addition to the budding literature on global citizenship education as emerging from, rather than grafted onto, existing educational practices. Palmer intertwines theoretical insights with vivid examples from his own practice as an international educator and research, bringing concepts to life and rendering them practicable. The World in Us skillfully bridges the gap between normative and empirical approaches that unfortunately still marks the field of GCE in its current form.""— Simona Szakács-Behling, author of Europe in the Classroom: World Culture and Nation-Building in Post-Socialist Romania
