Critical Works On Education In The Age Of Multidimensional Crisis

“The papers collected in this volume testify to the breadth and depth of contemporary work in critical education. They address themes such as the commodification of education, the silencing of teachers, the ideological functions of new curricula, child poverty, the educational consequences of war and migration, the possibilities of eco-pedagogy within critical studies, critical art and art pedagogy, decolonial pedagogy, and the right to otherness. They also speak to the continuity of emancipatory traditions such as Freirean pedagogy and community organizing. Some contributions examine how authoritarian projects normalize inequality, while others show how new technologies, presenting themselves as neutral innovations, reproduce global divisions of labor. Yet other studies demonstrate how critical educators create counter-hegemonic spaces through cooperative schools, refugee classrooms, and social movements. Taken together, these works remind us that critical education cannot be reduced to a mere politics of exposure; it is also a practice of constructing alternative forms of community and collective intelligence.”
