This insightful book explores the challenges of mass migration and multiculturalism, emphasizing the importance of diversity in modern society and education.
This book delves into the complex challenges and tensions arising from mass migration, unbalanced global relations, and the increasingly multicultural nature of society. Diversity, Intercultural Encounters, and Education addresses the pressing themes of diversity and identity, exploring intercultural encounters and conflicts while interrogating the emergence of a new socio-political order. The book emphasizes the significant and often challenging outcomes of cultural diversity that are felt by individuals and communities across the globe in contemporary societies.
The theme of multi- and pluriculturality is particularly relevant in today's academic, socio-political, economic, and entrepreneurial landscapes. This comprehensive work presents both Western and non-Western perspectives, serving as a valuable resource for fostering international dialogue and experimentation. The chapters are designed to complement one another, creating a robust theoretical framework that offers a detailed examination of diversity as it manifests in society, educational settings, and beyond, all viewed through a multidisciplinary and multiperspective lens.
Among the various theories and concepts discussed are those from sociology, psychology, political science, economics, history, literature, pedagogy, communication, and linguistics. Diversity, Intercultural Encounters, and Education provides readers with a thorough understanding of the phenomenon of diversity, equipping them with insights that are essential for navigating the complexities of our interconnected world.
