This book aims to gain a better grasp of how education, both inside
and outside school, is shaped by our understanding of time. Over
the last decennia, both education and policymaking have undergone
radical changes, transcending them far beyond the historical limits
of the modern nation-state where their contemporary shape
originated. The often-discussed shift from government to governance
in education policy, together with the crystallization of newly
emerging spaces of transnational education, are illustrative in
this respect. The national grammar of schooling is set out to
arrange time in class hours, schooldays and yearly cohorts. Its
curricula establish what the past should teach to future
generations. But when education shifts perspectives towards
transnational, European or even global levels, this past
increasingly seems to lose relevance when understood as continuity
and as tradition. Instead, in education as in policymaking, the
discontinuity expected to result from a future deemed open and
undetermined becomes an endless resource for the development of new
political and educational (re)forms. How are contemporary education
and education policy creating and reacting to particular forms of
presents, pasts or futures? How do specific forms of education
(such as lifelong learning) relate to our shifting understandings
of time? How are progress, acceleration and time related in
educational reform processes? Through showing the contingency of
time-making in educational practices, the contributions to this
book seek to answer these questions and thus open avenues to think
education and time anew. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the journal Educational Philosophy
and Theory.
