Call for Manuscripts - 2025 Special Issue on "Climate Change, Migration, and Conflict: Lessons in Education"
Nov 6, 2024
Chamada de manuscritos em português | Convocatoria en español
The road to the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement in 2025 marks an occasion for interdisciplinary global reflection on climate action. What has been undertaken in education and what could be done differently to protect Mother Earth? We invite authors in Comparative and International Education and other fields to examine this inquiry creatively, recognizing that climate change does not exist in isolation. This Special Issue raises manifold questions:
- What is the relationship between education and climate change?
- What are the direct and indirect links between internal or international conflicts with environmental damage, and how do these intersections relate to education?
- To what extent do migration policies and projects in education account for the impacts of climate change on the lives of internally displaced persons, refugees, and migrants?
- What perspectives do Indigenous epistemologies bring to education considering climate change, migration, and conflict at policy, curriculum, and pedagogy levels?
- How is environmental justice interconnected with educational justice?
While not exhaustive, these questions can serve as entry points for authors worldwide to reflect on different scales (personal, local, regional, and global) about pressing educational challenges amid climate change effects, ongoing conflicts, violence, and anti-immigrant discourse. We encourage authors to explore critical perspectives on education and discuss alternatives to existing models that may perpetuate hierarchies of knowledge in society.
