Critical and Postcolonial Perspectives on Global Education: The Case of Poland
Kuleta-Hulboj, Magdalena
Journal of Social Science Education, v19 n4 p8-22 2020
Purpose: This paper aims to contribute to the academic debate on postcolonial perspectives on global education problematising the context of global education in Poland, a former Second World country that does not fit to Global North-Global South dichotomy. Approach: The article explores global education in Poland from a critical and postcolonial perspective. It examines both supra-national factors shaping global education nowadays (like migrations, cosmopolitan turn, growing right-wing populism, the culture of measurement) and specific Polish context as a country not only "in-between", but with the experience of "triple coloniality". Findings: I argue that taking into consideration this complexity and multilayeredness of the Polish situation, together with more general, not country-specific factors, can offer new insights and understandings of global education in Poland. It is a necessary step to decolonise global education and make it more inclusive.
