Overview

Beyond Bystanders calls for a shift in the professional self-image of teachers from agents of socialization to active advocates of human flourishing, social justice, and world betterment. The editors propose that it is irresponsible for teachers to posit themselves as bystanders and to conceive of globalization as something happening to them. Their role as educators in all disciplines must be to establish educational leadership that would empower students to critically evaluate developing global realities-mass migrations, socioeconomic inequalities, global warming, and the dehumanizing effects of submission to social media and consumerism-and achieve the overarching goals of humanization and facilitation of the fulfilling life.
