This book expands understanding of cosmopolitan education that has the potential
to cultivate deliberative pedagogical encounters in universities. The authors
argue that cosmopolitan education in itself is an act of engaging with strangeness,
otherness, difference and inclusion/exclusion. What follows is the engendering
of inclusive human encounters in which freedom and rationality – guided
by co-operative, co-existential and oppositional acts of resistance – can be exercised.
The chapters centre around the enactment of universal hospitality, unconditional
engagement, difference, intercultural learning, democratic justice and
openness to develop a robust and reflexive defence of cosmopolitan education.
This book will appeal to scholars of cosmopolitan education as well as democratic
and inclusive education.
