Ehaab Abdou is a PhD Candidate, Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. Abdous research focuses on questions of inclusion and participation of marginalized groups, whether the inclusion of youths through avenues of civic engagement in Egypt and the Middle East at large, or the inclusion of traditionally marginalized perspectives and narratives within educational systems and curricula in Egypt as well as in North America. His interests generally center on social studies and citizenship education, extracurricular historical narratives, historical consciousness, and critical pedagogy. My doctoral research focuses on how Egyptian students interact with social studies education, and how such interaction influences their sense of citizenship and their civic engagement.

Her work is contextualised within the comparative and international education discussion surrounding the relationship between the global and the local. She takes as her theoretical framework the institutional logics perspective and explores how the global logic of human rights is embedded within the International Baccalaureate Organisation at different levels of abstraction and in different contexts. In particular she investigates how human rights is experienced and adhered to by students studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in different school learning communities in Norway and Poland. Recent publications: Parish, K. (2015). Studying Global Human Rights Education. Theoretical and Empitical Approaches. Opuscula Sociologica (1), 23-55. Natallia Sianko is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Youth, Family and Community Studies at Clemson University. Dr. Sianko’s research interests lie in the intersection of social justice and human rights, with a special focus on orientations of adolescents to democracy. Her research examines how adolescents’ in states with different levels of democratic advancement understand democracy and citizenship and whether and to what extent this understanding is unique to local contexts. In her recent work, she examined how adolescents in post-communist countries (Belarus and Albania) think about democratic values, human rights, and citizenship responsibilities. The key question driving Sianko’s inquiry is to uncover mechanisms through which democratically-oriented citizens can make democracies more effective. Recent publications: Sianko, N. (in preparation). Who will consolidate democracy in post-communist societies? Exploration of civic and political orientations of adolescents in Belarus. Sianko, N. & Small, M. A. (2016).

DOI: 10.1016/j.kontakt.2016.01.003 Ahmed Salehin Kaderi is a PhD Candidate & Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Toronto (OISE). His doctoral research is linked to his supervisor Professor Kathy Bickmore’s larger funded research project, “Peace-building citizenship learning in Canada, Mexico and Bangladesh: School connections with life experience.” Ahmed examines how some language, Islam, history, and social studies teachers and their selected students in violent and less violent contexts of Bangladesh understand and feel about social-political conflicts and violence in their neighborhoods and beyond. He also investigates how these people understand and feel about their citizenship for peace-building in relation to those problems, plus how they see schooling as helping and hindering their democratic and peace-building citizenship competency building.

Nashwa Moheyeldine is a Professional Development Specialist at Educate - Me , an Egyptian non-profit foundation that aims to redefine local education through serving underprivileged children and providing public schools teachers with the suitable professional development. In an attempt to explore the future transformation to a just, democratic society, her recent research explores citizenship education at four schools of various educational systems (public, experimental, private, and international schools). Her work also evaluates the notions of citizenship constructed by students at these schools, and the effects of external factors of political socialization including parents, peers, social media, and revolution. This research highlights the critical consciousness of students, the extent to which schools empower and expose students to their realities, and obstacles to a democratic citizenship education. Recent publication: MA Thesis, American University in Cairo, June 2016, Title: School and Society : Spaces for Citizenship Education Anatoli Rapoport is an Associate Professor at Purdue University. He is interested in citizenship education, particularly in how we teach (or rather, should teach) about global citizenship and other forms of supranational citizenship. How do ideologies and local cultures impact the development of global citizenship? How can we balance the national and the global in curricula? How do different education agents and stakeholders conceptualize supranational forms of citizenship? He has lived and worked in the former Soviet Union and when possible, incorporates his knowledge of education environments of Eastern and Central European countries into his research.
