Drawing on a diverse range of perspectives―including Australian Indigenous thought, the philosophy of Simone Weil, and Palmer's own teaching experience―the book introduces a host of empirically grounded concepts to rethink how we navigate global interconnection. With a balance of theory and practice, Palmer provides educators with practical tools to foster meaningful, inclusive, and contextually grounded global learning experiences.
