This book (my PhD thesis) was published by Malmö University in 2021. If you are interested in citizenship education, children’s literature and magic realism, this book is for you. You can also read one of the three main chapters:
APPROACHING NARRATIVE THROUGH THEORIES OF EDUCATION
In this section, I discuss the role of constructionist learning and design thinking pedagogy in my approach to children’s literature in education.
NARRATING HUMAN RIGHTS
In this section I discuss the role of children’s fiction in education about genocide. I outline approaches in magic realist narratives to the representation of war in fiction for children.
NARRATING ENVIRONMENT
In this section I discuss the role of children’s fiction in environmental education, ethics in children’s education and the challenges in approaching the binary concepts of human and nature.
