Education and Extremisms addresses one of the most pressing
questions facing societies today: how is education to respond to
the challenge of extremism? It argues that the implementation of
new teaching techniques, curricular reforms or top-down changes to
education policy alone cannot solve the problem of extremism in
educational establishments across the world. Instead, the authors
of this thought-provoking volume argue that there is a need for
those concerned with radicalisation to reconsider the relationship
between instrumentalist ideologies shaping education and the
multiple forms of extremisms that exist. Beginning with a detailed
discussion of the complicated and contested nature of different
forms of extremism, including extremism of both a religious and
secular nature, the authors show that common assumptions in
contemporary discourses on education and extremism are problematic.
Chapters in the book provide a careful selection of pertinent and
topical case studies, policy analysis and insightful critique of
extremist discourses. Taken together, the chapters in the book make
a powerful case for re-engaging with liberal education in order to
foster values of individual and social enrichment, intellectual
freedom, criticality, open-mindedness, flexibility and reflection
as antidotes to extremist ideologies. Recognising recent criticisms
of liberalism and liberal education, the authors argue for a new
understanding of liberal education that is suitable for
multicultural societies in a rapidly globalising world. This book
is essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate
students with an interest in religion, citizenship education,
liberalism, secularism, counter-terrorism, social policy, Muslim
education, youth studies and extremism. It is also relevant to
teacher educators, teachers and policymakers.
