Lifelong learning for a post-truth world - Paperback

by Rosemary Hipkins (Author)

How might we prepare young people to navigate a world saturated with disinformation? Lifelong Learning for a Post-truth World tackles this complex educational challenge by following key moments in Rosemary Hipkins' own learning journey. She argues that adults (teachers and others) cannot genuinely support young people's meaningmaking unless they are critically engaged with their own. Understanding how knowledge is generated and validated is an essential personal and professional commitment for the wellbeing of both people and planet.

The author highlights the value of drawing on more than one knowledge system, such as science and Indigenous knowledge, to deepen and enrich learning. Her argument is framed within ongoing scientific discoveries and contemporary science education research, yet its implications reach across the full breadth of the school curriculum. The book ultimately invites readers into a lifelong quest to think more expansively, critically, and collaboratively about the ways we make meaning in an increasingly complex world.
