ABSTRACT
This chapter offers the author's own conception of a critical global citizenship, based on significant synthesis of intercultural experiences and diverse theoretical traditions. It is worth making an explicit point about educating for global citizenship that will animate an educator's experience of the program. CBGL leaders and global citizenship educators may use the following section to review and/or develop familiarity with multiple rationales for global citizenship to share with students and consider the importance of accepting diverse ways of knowing within the context of these varied rationales. Some of the common themes and differences among the rationales as a method of drawing attention to the opportunity to interrogate and better understand underlying assumptions regarding global citizenship. A critical global citizenship calls us all to humble, careful, and continuous effort to build a world that better acknowledges every individual's basic human dignity.
