Sprawiedliwość i odpowiedzialność w edukacji globalnej (w narracjach przedstawicieli organizacji pozarządowych)

The aim of the article is to analyse the representations of justice and responsibility in the narratives of non-governmental organisations’ employees working in the area of global education in Poland. The categories of justice and responsibility are treated as socio-cultural constructs that both constitute social practice and are constituted by it. The study uses qualitative content analysis of 12 individual in-depth interviews, complemented by a concordance analysis. The research is informed by critical global education and a discursive approach. The analysis has revealed dominant discursive representations of justice and responsibility as well as their potential results. The data have shown that responsibility is linked to privileged people in the global North, who have the freedom of choosing the right behaviour and making the right decisions. It is a responsibility for the Other, not towards the Other, who is positioned as an object of one’s activity. The dominant representations of justice and injustice also create people from the global North as subjects not complicit in global harm, from whom the future of global South depends. The alternative discourse is much weaker.
