Curious and Critical GCE is a podcast series all about global citizenship education which was developed to accompany the book Global Citizenship Education: Curious Teachers, Critical Classrooms. The podcast series is hosted by Dr Brighid Golden, lecturer in Global Citizenship Education at MIC, and member of the national DICE Project Network for over ten years.
During MIC term time, there will be weekly episodes in which Brighid talks to educators about their experiences implementing GCE with curiosity and criticality in their different education settings. This podcast series is for students, teachers, and anyone who is interested in how GCE can be implemented in different educational settings.

Episode 6 - Reflection and self-awareness for GCE with Joanne O’Flaherty
In this episode I talk to Dr Joanne O’Flaherty who is an Associate Professor at the School of Education, University of Limerick and Research Lead for the Ubuntu Network. The Ubuntu Network, funded by Irish Aid, Department of Foreign Affairs is a national centre of excellence for global citizenship education in post-primary initial teacher education. Joanne talks to me about the idea of reflective practice and challenges many common ideas of reflection as teachers and within GCE.
