The book explores refusal as a political stance and action that
denies the authority of western universities and schools, and
allows space to explore radically different possibilities for the
future of education. It considers what refusal might look like, how
it might be carried out, and what the ethical, epistemological,
political and affective implications might be. The chapters are
written by a diverse range of experts from international
backgrounds.

Despite pervading all aspects of educational practice and theory,
little scholarship focuses on time in education. This book
addresses that lacuna questioning our assumptions about time and
their ramifications on theories of learning, issues of equity and
diversity, and on the purposes of education itself. The authors
examine ideas about time in a wide variety of contexts, from
ancient Greek fiction to 19th century theories of evolution and
from 20th century indigenous stories to 20th century afro-futurist
fiction. They show how pervasive the image of 'time as an arrow'
has become, an image of time that is one-way, singular and
teleological. Through exploring other theories of time, the authors
propose alternatives for time in education. They argue that time is
one of the key biopolitical tools we think and operate with, but
rarely address as a historical, cultural and pedagogical category
with which schools reproduce oppressive structures around race,
class, and gender in society. The book draws on ideas from the arts
and the sciences to illustrate and trouble assumptions of time
drawing on artistic and theoretic work from Edouard Glissant, Henri
Lefebvre, Giordano Nanni, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Bonnie Honig
and others.
