(E) Building Global Education With A Local Perspective
The depth and duration the Great Recession, coinciding with the intensification of competitive capitalism, has raised alarm. Especially in developed societies, there is concern about whether there is the capacity and capability to fuel and sustain economic recovery and global authority. At the same time, problems of feeding and housing our populations, protecting our environments, generating sufficient energy, supplying enough clean water, growing urbanization, and reducing poverty and social inequalities have drawn our attention to what have come to be called “societal grand challenges.” While different in scope and impact, these developments highlight the interconnectedness and codependence of world events, and the realization that solving these challenges requires a more sophisticated and complex set of intellectual, social, and political relations than heretofore. Emmanuel Jean Francois’ book “Building Global Education with a Local Perspective: An Introduction to Glocal Higher Education” seeks to develop an educational response to these issues through “glocalization” (see Goddard, Hazelkorn, Kempton, & Vallance, 2016). -
