Several conceptual limitations have been identified: inadequate knowledge of the geography and history of North Africa; the discursive dichotomy between East and West; the production of the Muslim woman as a single category; the tendency to de‐historicize Islam and Eastern cultures in general… Show more

Prace badawcze w zakresie edukacji w obszarze wielokulturowości w Polsce skupiają się na edukacji wielokulturowej na pograniczach (Awramiuk -Godun, 2008), oraz jej znaczeniu w kontekście integracji Polski z państwami Unii Europejskiej (Piróg, 2008), na polskim szkolnictwie mniejszości etnicznych (Osuch, 2007;Świętek i in., 2014) oraz na antydyskryminacyjnej roli edukacji geograficznej w kształtowaniu postaw tolerancji wobec mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych (Zatorski, 2016).…”
