This book makes a compelling case for the importance of raising awareness and fostering discussion about the politics of equity and inclusion in global citizenship education (GCE) research. With a particular focus on the Global South, it argues that these issues are crucial for the future of nuanced and effective research in this field.

The book delves into the concept of heavily regulated "hard spaces" to examine areas of institutional blindness and explores strategies for navigating the sensitive issue of sensitivity within an institutional context. It examines how sensitivity relates to pedagogy and ethics, and how researchers can effectively navigate the complexities of conducting research in geographically and thematically constrained spaces.

Through an in-depth metadiscussion of GCE research, the book offers a rich and nuanced portrayal of the unique challenges faced in this domain. It explores the intricate experiences of navigating temporal intersections of the global, the citizen, and education in geographically and thematically challenging spaces.

This book is of immense interest to researchers, policymakers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of global education, comparative education, and educational policy. It provides valuable insights and perspectives that will contribute to the ongoing discourse on the development of global citizenship and the role of education in promoting equity and inclusion.
