International Journal of Multicultural Education, v25 n2 p45-65 2023
The purpose of this study was to explore college students' and educators' (N = 29) perceptions, experiences, and recommendations around cultivating wisdom, compassion, and courage as key tenets of global citizenship. Based on pragmatic research design and thematic analysis, we sought multicultural education approaches that could strengthen campus communities' capacity to advance peace, sustainability, dignity, and well-being of all forms of life -- all across the world. We have discussed the findings in the context of specific pedagogical practices focusing upon: (a) emergent praxes and curriculum to foster wisdom, (b) courageous dialogues for mutual understanding, and (c) restoring compassion and humanity.
