This month we discuss historic Eurocentric education or Eurocentrism. Eurocentrism is defined as “a worldview centered on Western civilization,” and more specifically refers to a feeling of European exceptionalism in regards to historical advancement. As a concept, it has recently been developed as a result of an era of Western imperialism directed at the rest of the world.
