Abstract

This chapter delves into the intersection of school geography, sustainability discourses, and radical global citizenship education. It argues that school geography should be a vehicle for educating students about sustainability and radical democracy, drawing on the theories of Laclau and Mouffe. The chapter analyzes various sustainability discourses, including neoliberal, reformist, and transformative ones, and highlights the importance of discourse coalitions and agonistic pedagogy in promoting a more democratic and sustainable future. It also explores the role of emotions and affects in political education and provides practical insights into how to integrate these concepts into classroom practices. The chapter concludes by suggesting ways to strengthen critical school geography and encourages further research into deliberative mini-publics and post-developmental initiatives.
