About the speakers and topics:
Speaker: Professor Toshinori Kuwabara
Topic: International Exchange and Fostering Global Citizenship amidst the Spread of Coronary Infections
Abstract: This presentation reports on last year's exchange program between Okayama University students and Virginia Tech students in the United States to foster global citizenship. Due to the spread of the corona infection, it became difficult to meet in person, so we decided to conduct the exchange online. During the exchange, students worked on a project to compare the descriptions in junior high school history textbooks in Japan, the United States, and China.
Speaker: Dr. Vishalache Balakrishnan
Topic: Inclusiveness and Social Justice for Minorities in a Multicultural Nation: Case Studies from Malaysia
Abstract: In the current post Covid-19 pandemic era, the world today is in perpetual conflict. Many individuals and groups are moving across the globe, escaping from the local destruction and hoping for a better future in a different state, nation or continent. There are unresolved tensions between the state and the people in terms of equality, equity, and long standing policies and practices around education. Reindal (2016) has suggested that we should spend more time considering ethical issues around inclusion, rather than focussing on specifics of pedagogy or curriculum. Appropriate transformations in the digital and educational fields could support such ethical changes in society. Multiple case studies are being conducted on human experiences and the hope for inclusion and social justice especially among the vulnerable minority society.
Speaker: Dr. Eric King-man Chong
Topic: A review of research on civics and citizenship education under COVID-19 pandemic: What can we learn from them?
Abstract: Global pandemic has affected many aspects of civics and citizenship education such as engagement, participation, rights, responsibilities, and even ideologies. This study reviews and identifies the trends of research on civics and citizenship education developments, especially those research based on the various impacts caused by social media, technology changes, and politics under the COVID-19 pandemic.
