Skola i normer granskar hur normer för hur man ska vara och bete sig upprepas och utmanas av elever och lärare i skolan, på lärarutbildningen och i skolans värdegrundsarbete. Genom föreställningar om normalitet skapas också det Andra, det som inte ryms innanför normens gränser och som därför stängs ute. Samtidigt uppstår alltid motsägelser som ger möjligheter till motstånd.

I den här tredje upplagan har perspektiven vidgats ytterligare och normbegreppet används för att belysa en rad aspekter av hur olika normer verkar och ges betydelse i utbildningssammanhang. Förutom normer om genus, ålder, sexualitet, rasifiering och klass, diskuterar författarna på ett tydligare sätt också funktionsnormer, nyliberalism, religion/sekularism och nationalism. Under senare år har betydelsen av dessa normativa processer blivit allt mer påtagliga, både i skolans värld och i samhället i stort.

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.
