Presented by Lizzi O. Milligan - Professor of Education and Global Social Justice in the Department of Education at the University of Bath and María Balarin - Senior Researcher at Grupo de Análisis para el Desarrollo (GRADE), Perú

In this talk, we'll share some of the key findings from the JustEd project - a 3 year comparative research study exploring different forms of justice in education for sustainable development in Nepal, Peru and Uganda. We'll particularly discuss our findings related to the sense of an incomplete puzzle in how particular justice issues are framed in secondary education, the disconnections between young people's experiences of injustice and what they learn in the classroom and the shallow pedagogies that typified how justice issues were taught. We'll then share our conceptualisation of an epistemic core and consider how we see this as an essential part of teaching and learning if secondary education can contribute to broad sustainable development aims (e.g. in relation to climate action and peace).

The presentation will be based on our Open Access book: Bristol University Press | Education as and for Justice in the Global South - Case Studies from Nepal, Perú and Uganda, By Lizzi O. Milligan, María Balarin, Rachel Wilder, Expedito Nuwategeka and Mohan Paudel
