Blast from the past! Thanks to DERC for inviting me to give a keynote address at their conference in 2017. Great to know that it was in the top ten of their most viewed videos. I think if I were asked to give the address again, I would revise some of what I said but I think my three main points are still valid: 1. GCE is of relevance for various sub-disciplines within political science (and indeed other fields in the social sciences) ; 2. research on GCE needs to be inter, post and trans-disciplinary and I welcome those kinds of partnerships; 3. Researchers of GCE either as practitioners or those researching GCE from any other discipline within the social sciences need to pay close attention to the methodologies they use and their epistemological assumptions.

The presentation situates research of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in Political Science and International Relations. GCE has a peculiar relationship to knowledge, research methods and epistemology since it is both an object of rigorous academic research and a practice which aims to shift the epistemological capabilities of recipients. This presentation will highlight what’s at stake for the rigour of research intended to strengthen the success of GCE. Watch here: https://lnkd.in/e477U-ye
