What are the historical reasons behind international inequalities? What role does the national history curriculum play in shaping them? We have addressed these questions through two contributions, curated by CISP (the Italian NGO leading the GET project), which you can freely read and download from our library.
In “The Causes of Inequalities”, awarding the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson served as a starting point to isolate two key elements, which are essential for understanding and fostering an in-depth discussion on the topic.
Discover them in The Causes of International Inequalities.
“Curricular Colonialism and Global History” explores an essential but often overlooked aspect of international inequalities: the use of the national history curriculum as a tool of conflict. This issue has resurfaced in recent months in different contexts (Jerusalem, Western Sahara), inevitably leading us to define the cultural and educational implications of such events. Read and download Curricular Colonialism and Global History from our library to learn more.
You can find the original contribution “Le cause delle disuguaglianze e il ruolo del curricolo di storia: due nuove riflessioni nella biblioteca di GET” on the GET Italy website in Italian.
