Special Issue: Global Citizenship

Edited by Angela Giovanangeli & Alice Loda

Over the last two decades, the concept of global citizenship has gained prominence in higher education, inviting scholars to critically revaluate knowledge and responsibility in global contexts. Global citizenship encourages a shift towards a more inclusive and interconnected worldview, where collaborative actions and interactions are driven by a shared commitment to understanding and addressing the complexities of our global society. The term global citizenship is, however, highly contested and fluid, raising many questions.  How does global citizenship intersect with social justice? In what ways does it encapsulate principles of equity, diversity and inclusion? How can universities act to enact positive social change, preparing students to tackle global challenges with insight and innovation? How is global citizenship assessed? Amid a backdrop of global crises and opportunities, we seek contributions that not only reflect on these challenges but also celebrate the multiple ways in which global citizenship is lived, taught and envisioned across the educational spectrum.

We welcome a diverse array of submissions from educators, scholars, students and practitioners. Share your insights, research, narratives and creative expressions that encapsulate the essence of global citizenship both in theory and practice. Whether through critical essays, compelling stories, reflective musings, or poignant poetry, we invite you to contribute to a rich array of perspectives that illustrate the concept of global citizenship in our scholarly communities.
