2021 PROSE Award Finalist - 'Reference Works' Learning about global issues and themes has become an increasingly recognised element of education in many countries around the world. Terms such as global learning, global citizenship and global education can be seen within national education policies and international initiatives led by the UN, UNESCO, European Commission and OECD. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Education and Learning brings together the main elements of the debates, provides analysis of policies, and suggests new directions for research in these areas. Written by internationally renowned scholars from Brazil, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, UK and the USA, the handbook offers a much needed resource for academics, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners who need a clear picture of global learning.
[The book] will prove a useful collection for teachers at all levels who are setting out to create classrooms whose students learn through global perspectives, as well as teacher trainers introducing global education to future teachers. Further, it will be very useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students to draw on when thinking about potential issues for further research in the field of global education. * Educational Review *
