Abstract

The preceding chapters cover a multitude of aspects of human rights education (HRE). Although education as a discipline is not my academic field of expertise, the approaches and debates generate a familiar feeling. Not only the critical and policy driven undercurrent of the section ‘philosophical and political perspective’, but also the foci on gendered discourses (section 2) and the emerging attention for narrativity and discourse (section 3) trigger a well-known sense of involvement, and the desire to support changes, address politics and start doing something.
