Liz Jackson is an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Education at the University of Hong Kong. She is President of the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia and Director of the Comparative Education Research Centre at the University of Hong Kong.
‘Questioning Allegiance is a capacious examination of the role of
education in helping people to live together well in multiple
spatial and geographical contexts. Jackson makes a finely wrought,
crucial contribution for our ambivalent ever-localizing and
ever-globalizing time.’ – Cris Mayo, Professor in Women’s and
Gender Studies, West Virginia University, USA.‘In her new book
Questioning Allegiance philosopher Liz Jackson attempts to relocate
civic education (the subtitle), arguing that most social learning
about global issues already takes place outside the school and
programs of civic education. Jackson explores how young people are
learning about themselves and how to live together in different and
sometimes competing overlapping contexts from the local to the
global. She explores the implications for a different conception
for civic education and for curriculum and teaching. A revealing
analysis and useful book that is highly recommended.’ – Michael A.
Peters, Distinguished Professor of Education, Beijing Normal
University, China.‘Jackson’s book is a major contribution to the
theoretical literature on civic education. Her impressive breadth
of scholarship and her personal experience of education on several
different continents shine through the text. Her position on
education for allegiance is carefully worked out, persuasively
argued and boldly expressed: it invites civic educators around the
world to think again about what they are trying to achieve. It has
another quality too, one that is all too rare in educational theory
and yet of the first importance for the improvement of educational
practice: it is unassailably correct.’ – Michael Hand, Professor of
Philosophy of Education, University of Birmingham, UK.
