Truth-Telling Pedagogies: Building PRAXIS Across Contexts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781837421923)

In an era marked by national truth-telling initiatives, from the Uluru Statement from the Heart in Australia to Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, education systems remain slow to respond. As educators face mounting pressure to "teach the truth," they are often left without the frameworks, resources, or institutional support to do so.

Against the backdrop of post-truth politics and curriculum resistance, Truth-Telling Pedagogies makes a compelling case for critical, ethical engagement with history. This collection of international voices shifts the focus from policy reform to the pedagogy of truth-telling. It highlights Indigenous-led educational approaches that centre sovereignty, relationality, and local knowledges, moving beyond tokenistic inclusion toward deeper critiques of colonial structures.

Truth-Telling Pedagogies stands as one of the first volumes to place the pedagogy of truth-telling at its core, moving beyond conventional emphases on policy or curriculum reform. Designed with practitioners in mind, it highlights grounded theory and community-based approaches.
