Social Justice, Transformation and Knowledge: Policy, Workplace
Learning and Skills examines the policy contexts in which lifelong
learning, vocational education and training and skill development
is set. It provides a critique of neo-liberalism and its impact on
vocational education and training and lifelong learning. It
interrogates potentially progressive policy interventions that take
for granted capitalist relations as these can become a form of
'comfort radicalism' that whilst calling for structural change
remain lodged within capitalism. Such analyses are limited,
particularly in austere conditions of worklessness with increasing
numbers of workers surplus to the requirements of capital. Offering
detailed discussions within UK, European and global contexts, this
book proves an insightful and critical text which illustrates
Professor Avis' extensive experience and knowledge of the field.
Adopting a substantive focus on debates and analysis with
significance that extends beyond the particular policy context of
England, the book offers: an exploration of arguments that suggest
workplace learning carries with it progressive possibilities an
examination of models of class implicit within education policy and
documents consideration of forms of governance and professionalism
and their articulation to the pursuit of social justice an insight
into discussions concerned with social justice, knowledge as well
as the current conditions of austerity in which education and
social policy are emphasised Social Justice, Transformation and
Knowledge is a significant addition to the field. It is an
insightful and thought-provoking book from which students,
lecturers and researchers with an interest in education studies,
education policy, and social justice will greatly benefit from
reading.
