Global Education and Multiculturalism Multicultural Education and Local Wisdom Education and Cultural Studies

Abstract

In the ongoing debates over whether, or what sort of, multiculturalismshould be curricularly provided, the origin, evolution, and rhetorical function of the basic termculturehas been unwisely neglected. Having been accepted as a key term of anthropological discourse, the term conveys sufficient authority to misdirect political‐educational energies. Viewing humanity historically, it is sounder to think in terms of anecumene,and educationally, to return to the notion ofculturing.
