Books by Claudia W. (University of British Columbia Ruitenberg

Based on the work of Jacques Derrida, Unlocking the World suggests that giving place to children and other newcomers is at the heart of education. The book examines the relation between an ethic of hospitality and the educational contexts in which it would guide practice. In addition, the book addresses how an ethic of hospitality accounts for power, whether it is appropriate for educational contexts marked by colonialism, and how it might guide education aimed at social justice.
