Can Educators Make a Difference? Experimenting with and Experiencing, Democracy in EducationAuthor(s): Paul R. Carr, David Zygier, Marc Pruyn\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Emerald Publishing Inc, United States\nImprint: Information Age Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781617358142, 978-1617358142\nSynopsis\nAs the title of this book suggests, how we understand, perceive and experience democracy may have a significant effect on how we actually engage in, and with, democracy. Within the educational context, this is a key concern, and forms the basis of the research presented in this volume within a critical, comparative analysis. The Global Doing Democracy Research Project (GDDRP), which currently has some 70 scholars in over 20 countries examining how educators do democracy, provides the framework in which diverse scholars explore a host of concerns related to democracy and democratic education, including the impact of neoliberalism, political literacy, critical engagement, teaching and learning.
