This interdisciplinary book examines the intersecting crises reshaping global education and offers urgent, equity-centered, and future-oriented interventions to address educational injustice, ecological degradation, technological disruption, and epistemological exclusion.

Moving beyond conventional diagnoses of dysfunction, the book integrates rigorous research with lived experience and applied praxis in critically engaging with issues such as climate anxiety, algorithmic bias, the politics of curriculum, student debt, Indigenous language loss, and the erosion of democratic discourse. The book comprises contributions from a truly international and multidisciplinary range of authors from the US, Colombia, Uganda, the Philippines, Nigeria, Greece and Kenya. Framed by principles of relationality, resistance, and renewal, the book also proposes actionable frameworks for building more just and resilient learning systems.

Inviting readers to think critically about inherited systems and to engage deeply with questions of justice and human dignity, this book will be relevant to scholars, researchers, and academics in the fields of higher education, sustainability education, leadership and multicultural education.
