Social justice work in privileged spaces – challenging gender and social class inequalities
Fostering global citizenship through schools, education institutions earning their right to charitable status, and promoting CAS initiatives in International Baccalaureate schools can be found worldwide.
How do schools and increasingly higher education institutions engage in such service work – what models do they use, what is the intention behind them and what outcomes do they produce for those communities they seek to serve, as well as the students and staff delivering them.
My research has studied such initiatives in the UK, and across the Global South.
