Teaching Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty offers a new framework for democratic education to reconstruct education and social, cultural, and political institutions. It examines how education can perpetuate or disrupt harmful social and political practices and narratives and proposes a place-responsive learning approach to develop civic literacy and reshape the predominant political narrative. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 November 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resilience of democracy is rooted in its capacity to rectify errors, address challenges, and evolve to meet emerging circumstances. Nevertheless, the heightened volatility stemming from numerous crises across various domains, including humanitarian, financial, and environmental, poses a significant test to this resilience. Teaching Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty initiates a crucial conversation among educators, aiming to reconstruct education and, by extension, our social, cultural, and political institutions. This groundbreaking book is the first monograph in philosophy specifically dedicated to democratic education, delving into the ways in which education can either perpetuate or disrupt harmful social and political practices and narratives within classrooms. It serves as a reimagining of civics and citizenship education as place-responsive learning, focused on understanding and improving human-environment relations to navigate an uncertain world and address the inevitable challenges of democratic disagreement beyond mere promotion of pluralism, tolerance, and agreement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen viewed as a holistic way of life, democracy transforms into a goal and a teaching methodology for cultivating civic literacy, empowering students to articulate and comprehend a broader range of political narratives beyond the dominant discourse. This book holds immense interest for scholars in philosophy, political science, education, democratic theory, civics and citizenship studies, as well as peace education research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 474g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 242 x 21 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367565091                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilbert Burgh,Simone Thornton","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105059041530,"sku":"9780367565091","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/34f9aaa9b34c3ed030631df9a05eccea.jpg?v=1638848358","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/teaching-democracy-in-an-age-of-uncertainty-place-responsive-learning","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
