This book brings together world-leading researchers and scholars in
the fields of inclusive education, disability studies, refugee
education and special education to examine critical and original
perspectives of the meaning and consequences of educational and
social exclusion. Drawing together, the contributors consider how
children already vulnerable to exclusion might be supported and
educated in and through times of global pandemic and crisis. They
also identify broad prospects for education and inclusion in,
through and beyond times of global pandemic and crisis.
In her renowned and provocative essay, The Crisis in Education,
Hannah Arendt observed that a 'crisis becomes a disaster only when
we respond to it with preformed judgements, that is, with
prejudices'. Taken as a whole, Arendt's work provides an enduring
provocation to think and to make judgements about education and the
issues that impact on it, such as political, economic and cultural
disruption and uncertainty. Drawing together the leading thinkers
on Arendtian ideas and education, this collection explores the role
and promise education can have in preparing the future generation
to understand, to think about and to act within the world.
Concluding the same essay on the crisis in education, Arendt
declared education to be the point at which love for the world
meets love for those who are newcomers to it. The authors respond
to Arendt's call for responsibility and authority in education,
providing a leading edge thinking, analysis and agenda setting for
public education systems and the world in dark times.
