Preparing Educators, Advocates, And Allies: Teacher Education In The Hre Movement, Sandra Sirota, Glenn Mitoma
International Journal of Human Rights Education
Despite several decades of international initiatives designed to promote human rights education (HRE) at the primary, secondary, and post-secondary level and the more recent trend of emergent human rights programs in colleges and universities in the United States (Advocates for Human Rights, 2016; Cargas, 2019), there is little evidence that United States teacher education programs have engaged human rights as a meaningful component in the preparation of future educators.

Underscoring the imperative of decolonization, it concludes with a call for pluriversal rights education as a decolonial successor to peace and human rights education. It also offers a brief overview of the articles included in this special issue and how they each contribute to …
