PAIVA, Wilson Alves de; SCOTT, David e GERELUK, Dianne. Examining Canadian and Brazilian Educational Policy Through the Lens of Kymlicka’s Liberal multiculturalism. Educ. Real. [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.3, pp.1149-1169. ISSN 2175-6236. https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-623674993.
This paper tries to explore the implications of Will Kimlicka’s (1998; 2007; 2015) theorizing on liberal multiculturalism for educational policy in Canada and Brazil. Through exploring a series of case studies from Canada, including publically funded heritage language schools and Afrocentric programs, we try to show how liberal multiculturalism shifts the terms of educational debates away from a focus on the particular classroom practice of teachers, towards restructuring educational policy to address the unique needs of different ethno-cultural groups in society. Making ongoing links to Brazilian educational contexts, we highlight some of the unique challenges of introducing policies inspired by liberal multiculturalism in Brazil.
