Reviewing geography education’s relationships with citizenship to (re)imagine possibilities for future research
- Abstract:
- This article examines the relationships between geography education and citizenship via a scoping review of 60 studies. Literature focused on a range of countries, primarily in Europe, and five interconnected themes were identified: citizenship as a purpose of geography education; engagement with injustices and issues; constructions of ‘the child’; political literacy and participation; and identities in relation to place, nation, and empire. The review highlights a lack of direct engagement with children’s perspectives and calls for future research that centres children’s (lived) citizenship and examines how we can develop children’s knowledges of citizenship, political literacy and participation through school geography.
