Abstract

Any consideration of global citizenship education in the Twenty-first century is incomplete without an examination of migration as part and parcel of the contemporary world. Globally, communities are becoming more heterogeneous than in recent decades due to migration; this has implications for global citizenship education. In this chapter, we consider global citizenship education in the context of migration at both the societal and curricular level, and consider the tensions between globalism and nationalism, the ethnic and citizenship communities, and hybridity of identity and citizenship practices. We then recommend research on the ways new global citizenship education initiatives are intertwined with migration.
