A dominant phenomenon that has emerged, as the world headed into the third decade of the 21st century, is the rise of xenophobia alongside increasing instances of ultranationalism and fascism. The effects of war, immigration and a global pandemic have created distrust and intolerance towards other groups with different values and belief systems. The opportunity exists now to examine how living together in a world where difference, regard for the other, and the responsibilities for renewal become important foundations for curriculum. In this chapter, we begin by conceptualizing cosmopolitan critical literacy and its fundamental role in education. We then provide examples of its use as a pedagogical intervention to disrupt xenophobia (with a particular emphasis on Islamophobia) and to foster more inclusive and hospitable mindsets. |
