Harmony, Compassion, and Collaboration in Social and Civic Education
Book Talk: Curriculum for Justice and Harmony
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Theory and Research in Social Education
Hilary Conklin (2022)
The combination of what Barton and Ho lay out in this curricular vision―and especially the attention to the role of listening, compassion, and humility―offers a powerful set of principles and thought-provoking roadmap for social and civic education. Barton and Ho’s work offers readers a plethora of theoretically rich and practically grounded material that invites many important conversations for social and civic educators. Among the many contributions of this book, its global focus, public emphasis, action orientation, concrete examples, and focus on environmental justice and harmony are particular strengths.
Multicultural Education Review
Kazuhiro Kusahara (2023)
The scholarly value of this book...lies in the fact that it presents multiple antitheses to the dominant educational discourse in Asia...Rich with such arguments, this book serves as an invitation to engage in sustained deliberation among social studies and civics educators working outside the United States. We readers are challenged to rethink the criteria as well as the specific issues of building correlation with justice and harmony in our respective contexts. Asian countries, such as Thailand, South Korea, Myanmar, Taiwan, Hong Kong, mainland China, and Japan, have different political systems and cultural norms.
