ISS launches edited volume on the pedagogy of crises

On 25 January, the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) – a founding LDRN partner – launched ‘The Pedagogy of Economic, Political and Social Crises‘, a volume edited by Prof. Bob Jessop and Dr. Karim Knio and published by Routledge.

Crises have been studied in many disciplines and from diverse perspectives for at least 150 years. Yet recent decades have seen a marked increase in the crisis literature, reflecting growing awareness of crisis phenomena from the 1970s onwards. The volume responds to this mainstream literature with a number of key innovations and important insights into the pedagogy of crisis.

A number of ISS researchers contributed to this volume, including LDRN executive committee member Jeff Handmaker with a chapter on ‘The Legitimacy Crisis Within International Criminal Justice and the Importance of Critical, Reflexive Learning’.
