Research Fellow, Raoul Wallenberg Institute
About
Dr. Fadhila Hadjeris is a Fulbright award-winning educator and scholar of language, literacy, and education whose work sits at the intersection of peace education, language ideologies, and race and ethnicity. At the Wallenberg Institute, she will be completing her first book manuscript titled Global Citizenship Education in Post-colonial Algeria. In this project, she uses English as a foreign language education as a lens for understanding how global citizenship education is conceptualized and enacted in Algeria, focusing on school curriculum and teachers’ pedagogical practices tracing their evolution since the independence in 1962. Her second project explores how faith-based schools use religious literacy to disrupt divisiveness, foster empathy, and encourage ethical engagement with global issues. Dr. Hadjeris’ research has been published in the Journal of Curriculum Studies, the International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning, the Journal of Globalization, Societies and Education, the Journal of Discourse Studies as well as in edited volumes such as Teaching and Researching Interculturality in the Middle East and North Africa, and the Handbook of Global Social Studies in Education: A Dialogue between the South and the North.
