This edited volume includes contributions on education within a world of
challenges by authors with diverse experiences and perspectives.
Together, the authors reflect on educational initiatives and life in
democratic societies, arguing for an increased awareness of the
educational processes at work within our contexts, places, and personal
lives. Chapters argue that authority and knowledge belong to everyone
and that these are found on every level of perceived educational
hierarchies. This book calls for attention to be paid to the voices of
teachers in school, students in the classroom, participants in a
project, and researchers embedded in a community--highlighting that they
all have something to teach about understanding the world all are
working to create in an uncertain educational future.
