This book synthesises a range of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical approaches to address the complex challenges faced by young people and societies in the 21st century. Each chapter provides accounts of local inclusive encounters in education, while engaging with global debates and issues, such as racism, neoliberalism, de-colonisation, new colonialism, de-democratisation, and growing social, economic, and educational inequality. This book presents new ways of thinking about democracy, local–global enactments of culturally responsive pedagogies through teaching and learning, and future thinking for a new era. Bringing together diverse, Australian, and international perspectives, this book will be relevant to educators, researchers, and policy makers who are interested in Indigenous education, educational sociology, de-coloniality, cultural safety, critical pedagogy, and education leadership theory.
