ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an approach to “educating for global citizenship” that the authors call global citizenship otherwise. This approach to global citizenship education (GCE) invites learners to decenter themselves, deepen their sense of responsibility, and disinvest from harmful desires so that we might learn to (co)exist differently on a shared planet. Global citizenship otherwise is partly inspired by decolonial, postcolonial, and indigenous critiques that denaturalize the harmful underside of the shiny promises offered by nation-states, global capital, universal knowledge, and separability, which we have summarized as the primary dimensions of the metaphorical “house modernity built”.
