Historical and Moral Consciousness in Education
Historical and Moral Consciousness highlights how ethics can be understood in the context of History education. It analyses the qualitative differences in how young people respond to historical and moral dilemmas of relevance to democratic values and human rights education. Drawing on a four-year international project, the book offers nuanced discussion and new scholarly understanding of the intersections between historical consciousness and moral consciousness within research. It develops new theoretical tools for history teaching and learning that can support teachers as they endeavor to educate for democratic citizenship. The book includes a meta-analysis of research within history Didaktik and around historical events with a moral bearing, and presents a comparative study of Australian, Finnish, and Swedish high school students’ moral understandings of historical dilemmas. Raising important questions about how our learning from the past is intertwined with our present and future interpretations and judgements, this book will be of great interest to academics, scholars, teachers, and post graduate students in the fields of history education, democratic education, human rights education, and citizenship education.
Theorizing Historical Consciousness
"Theorizing Historical Consciousness" sets various theoretical approaches to the study of historical consciousness side-by-side, enabling us to chart the future study of how people understand the past.
Education and Historical Justice
Education and Historical Justice explores the growing relationship between historical justice and education in comparative transnational contexts. It argues that in the period since the early-1990s – known as the 'age of apology'– processes of redress, repair, and reconciliation have become common in liberal-democratic nation-states. Yet, education's role in, and relationship to, historical justice is a relatively under researched issue. This book addresses that gap, exploring key questions for policy makers, curriculum writers, teachers, and students who are being mobilised and mobilising towards historical justice within cultures of redress. This includes analyses of educational reforms and policy changes in Australia, Canada, Northern Ireland, and South Africa. The book considers how agendas of historical justice relate to and potentially challenge established purposes of history and citizenship education. It outlines three potential orientations history education might take and is already taking in response to agendas of historical justice. Chapters engage perennial debates in the field– time, narrative, and collective responsibility – exploring conceptual dilemmas that arise when engaging questions of historical justice. This book draws out key opportunities and challenges for educators and learners within cultures of redress, who are being positioned to engage historical justice movements and imagine reparative futures.
