Systems of Reason and the Politics of Schooling
The 1980s were an important decade for educational inquiry. It was the moment of the “linguistic turn,” with its emphasis on the role of language as a constructor of reality, a structuring agent for institutions such as schools, and a medium for translating knowledge into elements of power for processes of social regulation. Drawing on the work and insights of educational researcher Thomas S. Popkewitz, this book shows how the linguistic turn provided an alternative to both mainline educational research grounded in the ideals of political liberalism and the effort of neo-Marxists to challenge liberal thinking in favor of a scholarship based on class conflict and economic determinism.
Global Manifestos for the Twenty-First Century
Bringing together over forty original short essays, some academic, others more creative in nature, this collection responds to the political, historical, social, and economic situation in which we find ourselves today. The editors argue that we are living in a repetition that must be stopped – if our goal is that the signifier "humanity" remains in the following centuries, the time has come to work in the present. The objective is not to deliver precise or quick answers, but to gather varied voices from different continents, bringing together different languages, ideas, practices, theories, thoughts, and desires. In the words of Yanis Varoufakis, "urging us to become agents of a future that ends unnecessary mass suffering and inspire humanity to realise its potential for authentic freedom." To leave the concept of a manifesto open, the contradictory aspects of the chapters are a subject of the manifesto itself. This is a manifesto of contradictions that reflects our reality as well as our struggles and our aspirations. This unique anthology will appeal to students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences interested in critical theory and social change.
Unaccomplished Utopia
"This is a stimulating and original collection of chapters produced by an impressive group of international scholars.

Volver a pensar la educación
El eslogan «Volver a pensar la educación» quiere ser la expresión de una necesidad imperiosa para todas aquellas personas relacionadas de distinta forma con las ideas y prácticas educativas que se sienten inseguras desde un punto de vista intelectual, ético y práctico en un mundo cambiante.

Boaventura and Education
This book examines the work of the leading critical and decolonial intellectual Boaventura de Sousa Santos and its impact on education in general, and curriculum in particular. The volume brings to the table crucial itinerant theoretical rivers of thought in order to examine and understand the crises of modernity and their consequences. The author insightfully articulates Sousa Santos’ major arguments – ‘prudent knowledge’, ‘decent life’, ‘sociology of absences’, and ‘epistemicide’, among others – to unpack some of the major issues facing the contemporary critical terrain. In so doing, she examines how Sousa Santos retools the critical ‘emancipatory educational projec...
El currículo en conflicto
El libro ofrece un análisis de los distintos puntos de vista planteados en los debates sobre los currículos de las escuelas y universidades públicas, el multiculturalismo, el canon y los fines de la educación. Se abordan las propuestas educativas y las perspectivas económicas, culturales, políticas y sociales de los miembros de la nueva derecha, los defensores del liberalismo moderno, los radicales y los posmodernos. Asimismo, los autores exponen sus innovadores planteamientos, dentro de una orientación progresista, acerca de una reforma social y educativa.
Professional Evaluation
Why do we have evaluation? Is evaluation a discipline? How much impact does evaluation have on government, education, or politics? Can social problems, such as poverty, be solved like engineering problems by the application of resources and intelligence? By exploring how evaluation has evolved as a discipline, science, and profession, House examines how evaluation impacts modern societies and the issues that this impact (social force) raises for evaluators. Addressing such issues as pluralism versus managerialism, quantitative versus qualitative methodologies, the purpose of higher education for knowledge production versus educating people for professions, clientism, and multicultural concerns, House traces how evaluation has evolved as a basis for determining where the field should go - and, how.
