Tuesday 10th December, 4.30pm
Room 107, Fulton
Speaker
Professor Steven J Coombs, Head of the School of Education,
University of the South Pacific
presents:
Living Global Citizenship: Transcending the cultural
divide through international education partnerships
____________________________________
In this seminar, Professor Coombs will explore the conceptual
framework of “Living Citizenship” as a means for developing
international continuing professional development through action
research projects. It will build on the recent Educational Action
Research article by Coombs & Potts [Living Citizenship:
Transcending the cultural divide] which looked at the adaptation of
Whitehead’s (2005) living educational theory approach and how it
supports the proposed paradigm of Living Citizenship.
Professor Coombs will also consider how Living Citizenship
supports international educational partnerships by enabling
participants’ as critically active citizens to transcend the cultural
divide. This global context further extends the conceptual
framework that has recently led Whitehead, Potts and Coombs
himself to propose the idea of ‘Living Global Citizenship’.
