The discussion on human rights literacies of this volume and the search for new ways in human rights education, are in this foreword interpreted against the background of feminist epistemological discussions. And, at the same time as sketching the South African context out of which this human rights literacies discussion emanates, the foreword points to how research is located in varying situations, opening for empiric and theoretical studies of various kinds. This demands attentiveness from researchers and knowledge about one another's contexts. Additionally in the foreword, it is argued that the quest for new ways of thinking epistemologically and ontologically around human rights education also needs to be influenced by contemporary discussions on sustainability.
