I am please to invite you to submit papers to the University of Alberta Global Citizenship Education. Global citizenship is concerned with the formal and informal relationships between individuals and the world in which they live, including formal structures and human relationships, and it is also closely linked to processes of identity and participation.

 Theory, Practice and Policy in Post-Secondary Global Citizenship Education will provide an important opportunity to examine and discuss the existing and emerging models of global citizenship education in post-secondary institutions as well as the theoretical and political frameworks within and upon which they are built.

Within this conceptualization of global citizenship, papers which speak to the following themes (whether theoretical or relating policy or practice) will be considered: 

* The relationships between global citizenship and justice
          o Theorizing citizenship within the context of the global and implications for pedagogy as well as educational policy 
* Transdisciplinarity and global citizenship education in post-secondary institutions
          o Theoretical considerations
          o Current models 
* The role of government in the development of global citizenship education in post-secondary contexts
          o Challenges to government
          o Relationships between governments and post -econdary institutions 
* Pedagogical issues in educating for global citizenship
          o Theorizing global citizenship education
          o Questions of implementation and governance
          o Models of practice
          o Empirical research
          o Models of program planning, implementation and evaluation

Criteria

Papers can be reports of completed research, outcomes of empirical research, models or theories of global citizenship education, new theorizing from the current literature and policies, practices and analyses that could shape future programs.
