“…Despite the flurry of research in the 1980s and 1990s, "we have very little information on what is actually going on in classrooms, or on how students or teachers see things" (Osborne, 1995, p. 27). A few notable exceptions point to important currents in youth understandings of participation, identity, and belonging, and in students' negotiations between national and global narratives of citizenship (Giron, 2012;Hildebrand, 2007;Levesque, 2003;Lee & Hébert, 2006;Myers & Zaman, 2009). Generally, research holds that students hold active citizenship in high regard, use a vocabulary of rights and freedoms to describe their civic subjectivities, and work to negotiate between strongly held national patriotism and attachment to globalized value systems.…”
