NEERO Circle: Book Talk - Social Justice Education in European Multi-ethnic Schools: Addressing the Goals of Intercultural Education March 26, 2021, 12:00 - 1:30pm EDT Book Talk - Social Justice Education in European Multiethnic Schools: Addressing the Goals of Intercultural Education Presenters/Authors: Dr. Cinzia Pica-Smith (Assumption University), Dr. Carmen N. Veloria, (Suffolk University) & Dr. Rina Manuela Contini (University of Chieti-Pescara) Europe is a multi-ethnic society experiencing a rise of anti-immigration, racist, xenophobic discourses, and right-wing political rhetoric and movements proposing legislation to further solidify structural inequality and institutionalized systems of oppression that fuel educational inequities. Social Justice Education in European Multi-ethnic Schools brings together researchers in the fields of sociology and education to examine debates in multicultural education. Drawing on critical theory, the book takes an in-depth look at how these challenges are being addressed (or not addressed) in educational contexts and in the proposed framework of intercultural education adopted as a conceptual and educational framework by the European Union over the last two decades. Note this NEERO Circle will take place through the Hopin virtual platform.
