Artificial intelligence as a site of global educational governance
This article critically examines UNESCO’s engagement in the global governance of artificial intelligence in education (AIED). Through a structured website mapping and a qualitative document analysis of key documents published between 2019 and 2025, the paper shows how UNESCO constructs AI as an object of educational policy, articulates normative frameworks, and positions itself as the leading actor in shaping the governance of AI in educational s…
Ambivalence and emotion in the age of AI
This article investigates how university students navigate the emotional, ethical, and pedagogical complexities of engaging with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools – particularly ChatGPT – within higher education. While much of the existing literature emphasises issues of functionality, academic integrity, or policy regulation, our study shifts the focus to students’ views and emotions. Drawing on qualitative data from focus groups …
An AI ethics ‘David and Goliath’
Artificial intelligence ethics requires a united approach from policymakers, AI companies, and individuals, in the development, deployment, and use of these technologies. However, sometimes discussions can become fragmented because of the different levels of governance (Schmitt in AI Ethics 1–12, 2021) or because of different values, stakeholders, and actors involved (Ryan and Stahl in J Inf Commun Ethics Soc 19:61–86, 2021). Recently, these conf…
On making peace with nature
This article interrogates United Nations (UN) calls that ‘making peace with nature’ should become the crucial mission of the 21st century. It ponders the kind of diplomacy envisioned for such a reconciliation ecology to be credible. Drawing on one of the most promising and less known programmes of the UN system – namely, Harmony with Nature (HwN), which pioneers Earth-based jurisprudence and rights of nature – it conceptualises this diplomatic sh…
The development of Unesco’s programmes for preventing violent extremism
Since 2015, UNESCO has developed a variety of programmes for preventing violent extremism through education (PVE-E), under the framework of Global Citizenship Education and Target 4.7 of Agenda 2030. There have been formal board decisions to promote PVE-E, regional and international conferences and three key publications: a Teacher's Guide (2016), a Guide for Policy-makers (2017), and a Youth-Led Guide (2017 and 2018). Through a discourse analysi…
Democracy Under Attack
The potency and potential of digital media to contribute to democracy has recently come under intense scrutiny. In the context of rising populism, extremism, digital surveillance and manipulation of data, there has been a shift towards more critical approaches to digital media including its producers and consumers. This shift, concomitant with calls for a path toward digital well-being, warrants a closer investigation into the study of the ethica…
'Boosting resilience' and 'safeguarding youngsters at risk'
Despite the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN) being tasked with being a core policy tool of the European Union and helping to shape its research funding agenda on preventing violent extremism, very little is known about how it operates, the practices and activities it engages with and the discourses it mobilizes to do so. This study fills this gap through an in-depth investigation into RAN's working group on education, critically examining t…
Deconstructing resistance towards textbook revisions
This article investigates Greek Cypriot ‘discourses of resistance’ to potential revisions of history textbooks as part of a wider peace education process. Although changing history textbooks towards a more inclusive and pluralistic narrative is arguably a necessary step for a sustainable peace, efforts to do so have met with strong resistance and ultimately failed. Existing studies have illuminated the problematic historical content of these text…
