Critical Pedagogy and International Studies: Reconstructing Knowledge through Dialogue with the Subaltern

Rebecca Hovey, World Learning

Abstract

The emerging trend and pressure for higher education to internationalize the curriculum, meet the challenges of globalization and prepare students for global citizenship is identified as the "global turn" in education. Critical pedagogy offers a theoretical framework in which we can imagine students and teachers in dialogue with knowing subjects other cultures and locations with the aim of creating a global community of knowledge production.
