New Publication: The Cambridge Handbook of Democratic Education (Cambridge University Press 2023)
What kind of education is needed for democracy? How can education respond to the challenges that current democracies face? These and related questions are covered by the Cambridge Handbook of Democratic Education co-edited by Prof. Johannes Drerup (VU) together with Julian Culp (Paris) and Douglas Yacek (Dortmund).

The book offers a comprehensive overview of the most important ideas, issues, and thinkers within democratic education. Its thirty chapters are written by leading experts in the field in an accessible format. The Handbook addresses not only the historical roots and philosophical foundations of democratic education, but also engages with contemporary political issues and key challenges to the project of democratic education.
On the 8th of September, an official book launch event will be organised in Paris. It will bring together philosophers of education who offer new perspectives on the history, present and future of democratic education in liberal democracies.
