The book seeks to explore ways in which education research, policy
and practice ought to be re-thought and re-enacted under present
bio-political predicaments. It brings together scholars working in
the intersections of education for sustainable development,
philosophy of education and curriculum theory who contribute
original and radical analyses of education in an increasingly
unpredictable and unintelligible world. According to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), humanity is
closer to irreversible tipping points that, once reached will lead
to accelerating transformations that will drastically change life
on earth during the coming decades. Responses from education
studies to these precarious social-ecological conditions range from
pointing out necessary ways forward for education grounded in human
accountability, responsibility, justice, ethics, and care; to dark
ecology-oriented interventions unnerving the very premises that
education relies on. When education is deeply entangled with, and
contributing to, a catastrophic global development, the idea of
education as a nostalgic promise for a common good and a better
future comes under scrutiny. This volume re-configures education as
inextricable from other anthropogenic threats and natural forces
that seem to become increasingly intertwined in joint production of
our current predicament. It urges educational theorists,
practitioners, and policymakers to engage with thinking,
practicing, and revolutionizing educational futures. The chapters
in this book were originally published in the journal Educational
Philosophy and Theory.
