Religious Diversity at School: Educating for New Pluralistic Contexts (by Ednan Aslan and Marcia Hermansen)

Abstract

In the contemporary tapestry of multicultural societies, the recognition of religious pluralism has emerged as an integral component of daily life. What was once perceived as “otherness” during the 1970s and 1980s has undergone a profound transformation, with children from diverse religious backgrounds now acknowledged as essential contributors to cultural
identity. Religious Diversity at School: Educating for New Pluralistic Contexts, edited by Aslan and Hermansen (2021), delves deeply into this paradigm shift, offering a penetrating examination of the challenges and opportunities faced by educators in navigating the landscape amid globalization and cultural plurality.
