Transformation and transnationalisation of schooling: Wherein lies the transformative potential of Global Citizenship Education?

Building on a combination of different conceptualisations of "the transnational" in education, this contribution interrogates the transformative potential of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) and the extent to which it can be seen as part of a wider transnationalisation process. The authors address this question through an analytical strategy that brings together neo-institutional approaches to educational diffusion (Ramirez, & Meyer, 2002), the concept of transnational educational spaces (Adick, 2005; Hornberg, 2010), and an emic approach to GCE (Szakács-Behling, Riggan, & Akar, 2020). Empirically they draw on examples from their research in/to schooling beyond the confines of nation-states, namely the transnational network of Eco-schools and the supranational system of Schola Europaea that they examine with the help of two perspectives (meso-, and micro-). A third lens, the macro-perspective, exemplified by the work of UNESCO in the field of GCE, serves as a key context for meso- and micro-level developments. Taken together these viewpoints offer complementary insights into the question of the transnational(ising) transformation of schooling and aims at the further development of this research field. (DIPF/Orig.)Ausgehend von verschiedenen Konzeptionen "des Transnationalen" in der Bildung, wird in dem Beitrag das transformative Potenzial der Global Citizenship Education (GCE) befragt und inwieweit sie als Teil eines breiteren Transnationalisierungsprozesses betrachtet werden kann. Dies geschieht mit Rekurs auf den Neoinstitutionalismus (Ramirez, & Meyer, 2002), das Konzept Transnationale Bildungsräume (Adick, 2005; Hornberg, 2010) und einem emischen Ansatz zur GCE (Szakács-Behling et al., 2020), um Theorie und Praxis miteinander zu verknüpfen. In einem zweiten Schritt ziehen die Autorinnen sodann zwei Beispiele aus ihrer Forschung heran: das transnationale Netzwerk der Eco-Schools und das überstaatliche System der Schola Europaea, die mit Hilfe von zwei Perspektiven (Meso- und Mikro-) untersucht werden. Eine dritte Perspektive, die Makro-Perspektive, hier exemplifiziert durch die Arbeit der UNESCO im Bereich der GCE, dient als wichtiger Kontext für Entwicklungen auf der Meso- und Mikroebene. Zusammen bieten diese drei Zugänge ergänzende Einblicke in die Frage der transnationalen Transformation des Schulwesens und zielen auf die Weiterentwicklung dieses Forschungsfelds. (DIPF/Orig.

\u27Billions of unheard voices\u27. Concluding thoughts on an unexpected journey

The editors refer back to the quotation from Parmenter (2011, p. 378) that opens the introduction of this special issue, noting the potential of an emic approach to \u27give a voice\u27 to more participants in the education process, whether as educators, policymakers, parents, or students. This concluding paper brings the dialogic format full circle with the editors\u27 own reflections on the diverse analyses and observations that have come together in this special issue. Of particular interest, and following on from the objectives set out in the introduction, is how the commentaries relate to each other and how they position themselves in relation to the purpose of sparking new debates on global citizenship education from an emic perspective.

Between Antigypsyism and Human Rights Education: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Representations of the Roma Holocaust in European Textbooks

This paper investigates representations of the Roma Holocaust in European textbooks on history, civics, and geography for pupils in upper primary to the end of secondary education. By applying critical discourse analysis (CDA) to a dataset of 472 passages and images referring to the Roma Holocaust from 869 textbooks, this paper reveals educational discourses of in/exclusion by focusing on narratives and linguistic tools, such as speech acts, level of detail and specificity, perspectives in semantic and grammatical forms, vocabulary and syntax. Most knowledge disseminated on the Roma Holocaust concerns numbers and technicalities of murder while Roma-specific details, survivor stories, and individual voices, as well as Romani terminology for the Holocaust (Porrajmos) are rare. Generally, the textbooks show little commitment to circulating knowledge about the Roma Holocaust, or specifically focusing on civic or human rights education. Portrayals of the Roma Holocaust are permeated by both explicitly and implicitly racist discourses, coupled with a distinct lack of critical tools withwhich to deconstruct these narratives. Overall, current textbook representations of the Roma Holocaust mirror social discourse and possibly serve to reproduce Romani exclusion and risk reinforcing antigypsyism attitudes
