Education for Societal Transformation: Alternatives for a Just Future
Event Highlights: Launch NSI 10
On 23 October 2024, the NORRAG Global Education Center launched the NORRAG Special Issue (NSI) 10, titled Education for Societal Transformation: Alternatives for a Just Future. The launch was chaired by Chanwoong Baek, NORRAG’s Academic Director, and introduced by sociologist Rezan Benatar and American University Professor Michael Gibbons, two of this edition’s guest editors. The session included the screening of video presentations by eight of the edition’s contributing authors. It was followed by a Q&A session in which several NSI 10 authors had the opportunity to discuss their work and answer questions from the over 240 audience members. This edition of the NSI was edited by eight members of The Alternatives Project (TAP), a diverse, transnational collective of progressive academics, union members, civil society activists, and social movement participants concerned with building a global collective critical voice oriented towards education and societal transformation.
