This is the first book to explode the myth of Swedish gender
equality, offering both a new perspective for an international
audience, and suggesting how equality might be re-thought
generally. The authors argue that whilst gender equality in Sweden
has led to a society with increased opportunities for some, it has
also become nationalistic and builds upon heteronormative and
racial principles.

In a world where frontiers are militarised and classifications
systems defining rights and belonging are reinforced, transnational
feminist agendas are fundamental. We use the concept of
'scholarships of hope' to analyse the diversity of feminist
struggles and imaginaries in diverse geopolitical locations.
Dreaming Global Change, Doing Local Feminisms explores subversive
practices of knowledge production that challenge Eurocentric
scientific models and agendas. The book also explores the tensions
and challenges of doing transnational feminist theory at the
crossroads between feminist scholarship and feminist activism. In
conjunction, these chapters provide a solid analysis framed by
feminist methodologies opening complexities and contradictions of
individual and collective feminist and trans identity struggles in
Argentina, Belarus, Pakistan, Sweden, Taiwan and Turkey. These
identities and struggles are rooted in transnational and local
genealogies that go beyond the narratives of the West as the origin
for democracy and human rights, providing powerful agendas for
alternative futures.

Education and Political Subjectivities in Neoliberal Times and
Places investigates the conditions and possibilities for political
subjectivities to emerge in international educational contexts,
where neoliberal norms are repeated, performed and transformed.
Through demonstrating the possibility of political subjectivities,
this book argues that neoliberalism should neither be considered
post-political, nor a natural law by which educational practices
have to abide. This book considers how political subjectivities are
made possible in education in spite of dominant neoliberal norms.
Chapters address key theoretical discussions surrounding these
different, sometimes contradicting, norms and their relationship to
education, economy and politics. This innovative approach considers
diverse educational and political initiatives in the wake of new
public management, postcolonial perspectives on neoliberal
education, and educational practices and critical possibilities.
The book advocates understanding and enacting democracy as an
experiment, based on the conception that democracy is constantly
constructed and constitutes a transformative process in society in
general as well as in education. This book advances the argument
that there is still room for political subjectivity in spite of the
dominance of neoliberal educational governance. It will appeal to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of
higher education, education policy and politics, sociology of
education and comparative and international education, as well as
those interested in neoliberalism, new public management, and
inequality.

This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being
made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political
struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and
colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often
cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations,
the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial
struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations,
states, and national territories. The collection represents a
variety of disciplines, and different theoretical
conceptualizations of politics, feminist theory, and postcolonial
and queer studies. Students and researchers with an interest of
queer studies, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and
civil society studies will find this book an invaluable resource.
