Description
Summary:Editorial to a special issue of the journal, of which Ross was the invited guest editor. The term Citizenship Education is generally used to mean teaching and learning about the social and political relationships involved in living together in societies: citizenship is used to refer to both rights and identities, rather than to the formal status of being a citizen of a particular state.
