Contemporary education research, policy and practice are complex
and challenging. The political struggle over what constitutes
curriculum and pedagogy is framed by quasi-markets and technocratic
models of education. This has had a significant effect on larger
issues of policy. But it has also had profound effects inside
educational sites in terms of the economics and politics of what is
and is not considered 'legitimate' knowledge, over what should be
taught, how it should be taught, and by whom. Re-imagining
Education for Democracy takes up the unfinished project of
resisting the de-democratisation of education and growing levels of
social and educational inequality. Where are the spaces for change
and articulating hopeful alternatives? How might we imagine and
produce different futures? What are the opportunities for
affirmative interference, and how could we produce a more
sustainable re-imagining and re-doing of the critical project of
education? The work is framed within two complementary sections:
the first addresses some key policy, political and philosophical
concerns of contemporary educational contexts, while the second
provides a series of empirical case studies and other local-global
narratives of resisting and reframing dominant discourses in
education around the world. The chapters provide a range of
empirical, methodological and conceptual focuses, from different
educational communities and international contexts, engaging with
the proposition of re-imagining education for democracy in multiple
and diverse ways. This book will be essential reading for
researchers and students of education research, policy and
practice.
