SSC Honorary Professor Seminar: Citizenship Education 1975-2025. Where Did It Come From, What Is Its Current Place in Education and How May It Develop in the Future?
You are cordially invited to attend the SSC Honorary Professor Seminar delivered by Emeritus Professor Ian Davies, the Emeritus Professor in the Department of Education at the University of York, and the Honorary Professor in the Department of Social Sciences at The Education University of Hong Kong. Most of his academic publications explore issues related to teaching and learning about contemporary society (with a particular focus on citizenship education). He lectures and researches extensively in international contexts and have been successful in attracting funding from a wide range of government and non-government agencies in the UK and elsewhere. In this presentation, Emeritus Professor Ian Davies will explore the trends and issues that apply to citizenship education from 1975 to 2025. He will describe and discuss the nature of citizenship education during the 50-year period. He will reflect on its origins as a form of knowledge, the attitude of policy makers towards it and the ways in which practitioners have developed relevant initiatives. He will also refer to issues and examples across the globe but his principal focus is on developments in high schools in England. Finally, He will offer some tentative suggestions for what usefully could be done in the future. Please find the guest lecture details as follows:
