Doctoral Dissertation Research: Globalization and Civic Education

SES#：1003013PI：Francisco O.Ramirez Co-Pi：Patrical E.Bromley Stanford University几乎没有理论或数据来解释为什么一些国家的教科书比其他国家的教科书更有可能强调保护人权和历史上处于不利地位的群体的权利，如妇女和少数群体。此外，人们几乎不知道教育系统随着时间的推移在多大程度上改变了对权利的重视。这项研究开发了一个独特的主要数据来源，包括自1970年以来出版的来自70个国家的600多本高中历史、公民和社会研究教科书。它将考察解释对权利话语的扩展重点的书籍和国家的特点。更广泛的影响：这项研究有助于对全球公民教育变化的描述，并使我们深入了解世界各国政府通过平衡个人和不同社会群体的权利来建立国家认同的关切。

SES#: 1003013PI: Francisco O. RamirezCo-PI: Patricial E. BromleyStanford UniversityThere is little theory or data to explain why textbooks in some countries are more likely than others to emphasize the protection of human rights and the rights of historically disadvantaged groups, such as women and minorities. Further, little is known about how much education systems have changed over time towards greater emphases on rights. This research develops a unique primary source of data consisting of over 600 high school history, civics and social studies textbooks published since 1970 from 70 countries. It will examine the features of books and countries that explain expanded emphases on rights discourse. BROADER IMPACTS: The study contributes to developing an account of global changes in civic education, and it gives us insights into the concern by governments worldwide of building national identity by balancing the rights of individuals and diverse social groups.
