Book Launch: 'World-Centred Education: A View for the Present' by Professor Gert Biesta

Hosted by UniSA's Centre for Research in Educational and Social Inclusion (CRESI), this event will showcase Gert Biesta and his new book, World Centred Education: A View for the Present, which argues that education should be world-centred rather than child-centred or curriculum-centred. This is not just because education should provide students with the knowledge and skills to act effectively in the world, but is first and foremost because the world is the place where our existence as human beings takes place.

Professor Biesta is Professor of Public Education in the Centre for Public Education and Pedagogy at Maynooth University, Ireland, and Professor of Educational Theory and Pedagogy at the Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh, UK.
