This conceptually rich and empirically grounded book draws upon expertise from a panel of emerging and established international scholars to explore the institutionalization and effect of multicultural education on a global scale. Previous studies of multicultural education have largely ignored the significance of understanding the combination of multiple sociopolitical influences on multicultural education in both policy and practice. Filling this void, this book sheds light on the two main reasons for taking a “glocal” perspective on multicultural education. First, children should be provided with meaningful learning opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to live in a culturally and ethno-linguistically diverse society, where the distinction between the local and the global is becoming blurred. Second, understanding both the “global grammar” and the “local semantics” of multicultural education helps researchers and policy-makers grasp the whole picture of multicultural education as an evolving social construct and phenomenon. This new book provokes a new round of discussion and research to expand and enrich our inquiry into cultural diversity and educational inclusion.

- This volume builds on the success of Deardorff's introductory Story Circles manual (see related titles) and uniquely applies this to individual experiences in higher education. - Strong author networks, and interest from the World Council on Intercultural and Global Competence, the International Association of Intercultural Researchers (IAIR), STAR Scholars Network, and The Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA). These associations have expressed a willingness to promote or offer the book at annual events. - Alongside international students and faculty, the volume may have some appeal amongst policymakers and professionals including IC trainers and counsellors. Deardorff's previous UNESCO-funded OA publication of the Manual for Developing Intercultural Competencies: Story Circles, means there is already awareness of the approach amongst these professional groups.

This paper seeks to discover in what ways the fields of Multicultural Education and International Education overlap in higher education and how this plays out in practice at a specific college. One goal of this paper is to facilitate discussions about how higher education can successfully embrace both fields simultaneously, addressing issues of domestic diversity and educational access while transitioning to a more global focus. Using a case study of Hampshire College, this paper answers the following question: In what ways do International Education and Multicultural Education intersect, if at all, at Hampshire College? Through personal interviews with administrators and students the following themes emerged from the data collected: 1) Understanding and awareness of the issues involved, 2) Lack of clear articulation and understanding of own and other office0́9s goals, 3) Lack of communication, 4) Lack of resources and time, 5) Minimal explicit integration between International Education and Multicultural Education, and 6) Looking towards the future to improve upon the current situation. The simple answer to my initial research question is that Hampshire does not aim to make an explicit connection between International Education and Multicultural Education, though with notable exceptions. The term 0́−global citizenship,0́+ used by Hampshire College, as well as many other educational institutions, seems an attempt to define the result of an intersection of these fields. To more successfully facilitate education that leads to competent global citizenship, Hampshire needs to understand what it means by education for global citizenship and have the resources and directives in place to provide this kind of education. This would be a significant contribution to both fields, International Education and Multicultural Education, and to other colleges beginning to examine what 0́−global citizenship0́+ means in practice on their own campuses.

Despite the largest-scale decentralisation of education since 1999, which broadly led to the marketisation of education, it is not clear how school education responds to the multicultural realities of Indonesian society and ethno-religious conflicts. Creating Multicultural Citizens presents a comprehensive evaluation of contemporary education in the largest democratic Muslim country in the world, focusing on the ways in which education prepares citizens for a multicultural society. It thoroughly examines the state-religion-community roles in the field of education in developing the Indonesian people. Using a qualitative ethnographic methodology, the author presents six case studies of different schools, including religious, non-religious, state and private schools, in two different provinces in Indonesia. It particularly explores: Evolving but contested theories of multiculturalism and multicultural education; Education changes and reforms in post-Suharto Indonesia; Government policies for multicultural education and school curriculum; School leadership for education for diversity; Roles of religious education in schools in nurturing multicultural beliefs, values and attitudes; Extra-curricular activities and tolerance; Students’ perspectives of multiculturalism and the ideal society; The promising development of a pesantren (Islamic boarding school in establishing multicultural education. It is the first book to explore how education in Indonesia helps contribute to the creation of tolerant and multicultural citizens and is essential reading for anyone involved in Indonesian education and international higher education.

How can education both acknowledge cultural diversity and promote social cohesion that is so necessary in contemporary, pluralistic, and democratic societies? How can reconciliation and social cohesion be achieved? The injunction of our times, therefore, is the construction of a consciousness and social cohesion project informed by social justice and human rights. That is the collective quest of the various chapters in this book, with a research focus on South Africa, as well as comparative research on India, the Netherlands, Canada, and the US.

This book explores how multiculturalism should be promoted throughout higher education due to its benefits for students. It adopts a strengths-based student-centred perspective and offers practical illustrations of how multicultural education can instigate students to understand each other and to relate to each other meaningfully. With the rise of international students in higher education across the globe it is crucial that institutions promote multicultural education for their wider communities.

This volume aims to stimulate interest in the under?researched role of silent partners (SPs) in multicultural education. Silent partners include formal and informal places?spaces in schools (e.g. architecture, classroom facilities, libraries, corridors, playgrounds, canteens), objects (e.g. teaching aids, furniture, wall decorations and overall interior design), interactive technologies (use of devices and applications) but also often taken?for?granted and not immediately visible patterns of thought, ideologies and assumptions. People involved in education all engage and work with a number of SPs that contribute to the delivery of curricula, but also to social life and well?being in and out of schools. The way places?spaces, objects and technologies influence the school community’s experiences of learning, well?being and social justice is rarely observed and problematised in education – hence the adjective ‘silent’ in the term ‘silent partners’. This book not only fills a significant empirical gap, but it can also inject public debate over future working environments in schools for multicultural education. It will be relevant to both researchers interested in developing their knowledge on these issues from a different perspective but also educators in search of inspiration for multicultural education. Praise for Silent Partners in Multicultural Education: “How to organize your classroom’s configuration in such a manner that all pupils feel welcome and comfortable? While most of those invested in multicultural education focus on the optimization of various linguistic aspects, Itkonen, Dervin and their colleagues give voice to the non?verbal aspects of education. In this book they elaborate how formal and informal places?spaces in schools can unintentionally reflect ideologies and cultural assumptions. They illustrate this perspective with telling examples that come from what is widely perceived as one of the best educational systems in the world. This book is an important, innovative contribution to the question of inclusion of all pupils in our school systems. It provides an eye?opening perspective to researchers in the field, teachers, principals and stakeholders willing to work for social justice in their schools”. ~ Emmanuelle Le Pichon, Vorstman, Researcher and Assistant Professor, Languages, Literature and Communication Department, Utrecht Institute of Linguistics “Congratulations are in order for this ground breaking and significant book. As the editors and authors convey convincingly and often poignantly, multicultural education is an increasingly politicised phenomenon that needs all the friends and allies that it can garner. The book's coverage of silent partners in education ? objects and technologies operating in specific places and spaces ? is therefore timely. Yet, as the book also highlights, these silent partners can exert negative power as well as positive influence on educational outcomes. The book presents a compelling account of the fundamental ambivalence framing these partners and formal educational provision more broadly. Rendering these silent educational partners visible and open to scrutiny is a significant scholarly achievement by the Education for Diversities Research Group in the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Helsinki, Finland, building on their well?deserved reputation for exploring the implicit and tacit and yet impactful dimensions of intercultural education and understanding. The book is appropriately diverse and inclusive in its concerns, with attention being directed at education in Finland, France, and the United States. Likewise the coverage traverses international and national schools, higher education, teacher education and productive methodologies for researching silent partners. This innovative and thought?provoking volume is highly recommended for its originality in helping us to see education for diversities in a new and powerful light.” ~ Patrick Alan Danaher, Professor in Educational Research in the School of Linguistics, Adult and Specialist Education, Associate Dean (Research and Research Training) in the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts, Toowoomba campus of the University of Southern Queensland, Australia; Adjunct Professor in the School of Education and the Arts, Central Queensland University, Australia. “Silent partners do not only reflect the ways we conceive of education but they also influence our practices as educators. Being silent, they are often taken for granted. The strength of this book lies in its critical questioning of the notion of silent partners. The chapters enlighten about the untold and the effects they have in an educational environment. The readers, especially in the fields of education and social justice, will definitely acquire a more sensitive perception of how silent partners affect our approaches to multicultural education.” ~ Dr. Regis Machart, Senior Lecturer, Universiti Putra Malaysia; Adjunct Professor, University of Helsinki, Finland

Multicultural Education in an Age of Globalization: Compelling Issues for Engagement, starts out with a discussion of western colonization of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the residual effects of colonialism in the forms of colonial mindset of power, dominance, and white racial superiority that have continued to challenge the hopes of a peaceful and more harmonious exchange and interaction in the 21st century global communities. Issues such as white privilege and cultural humility are discussed in-depth. Subsequently, the idea of globalization and the concept of global citizenship are also addressed in light of their implications for multicultural education curriculum and practice in the 21st century classrooms. The book identifies and discusses compelling issues that must be carefully addressed as we undertake multicultural education in the 21st century educational setting: whether in the K-`12 or higher education setting. Such issues include Affirmative Action, Gender Equity issues, Religion in the public school setting, and the problem of Poverty in the 21st century societies.

Multicultural education strives to value and respect the uniqueness of persons within a common human community. It expresses the democratic ideals of equality, of unity within diversity, and of justice for all, free of any racial, gender, or social class discrimination. This six-part document explores multicultural and international education in the context of teacher education programs. Part 1 explains multicultural education and examines considerations in educating teachers in multicultural education. Part 2 looks at global/international education and considerations for teacher education. Part 3 focuses on tensions or conflicts between multicultural education and global/international education. Part 4 explores commonalities and connections between multicultural education and global/international education. Part 5 outlines recommendations, including: providing teachers with cross-cultural experiences and reflection, recognizing that multicultural and global and international education involve an ongoing learning process; and working with colleagues across the fields of multicultural education and global and international education. Part 6 provides a list of references and resources on multicultural education and global/international education, and on making connections between multicultural education and global/international education. (Contains 65 references.) (ND)
