Practicing connections: “Doing” responsibility in historical-political educational processes

Abstract

In light of multiple crises in the Anthropocene, the required major transformation in various societal and political realms is fraught with challenges and obstacles. In particular, the areas of education and training play a pivotal role in being able to respond “responsibly” to these ambiguities. Using two examples, one from the practice of political action, one from the practice of historical theory, the text problematizes the difficulties, but also the possibilities of “doing” responsibility through the lens of critical historical-political education.
