Adam Howard is Professor of Education and Director of the Education Program at Colby College (USA). His research and writing focus on social class issues in education with a particular focus on privilege and elite education. He is author of Learning Privilege: Lessons of Power and Identity in Affluent Schooling and Negotiating Privilege and Identity in Educational Contexts, and his co-edited collections include Educating Elites: Class Privilege and Educational Advantage(with Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández).
In this presentation, Professor Howard provides an overview of a 4-year global ethnography of the lessons students are taught through global citizenship education about their place in the world, their relationships with others, and who they are at secondary schools in six countries: Australia, Chile, Denmark, Ghana, Jordan, and Taiwan. Specifically, this talk focuses on the learning process of the student researchers and the 4 R’s (relationship, relevance, reflection, and responsibility) of the framework that shaped and guided that process. At the conclusion, Pat Dickert, Professor Howard’s research assistant, identifies some of his learning from this process and from traveling to three of six schools involved in this study.
