The Elgar Encyclopedia of the Sociology of Education examines the prospects of a global and decolonial sociology of education by drawing on international and interdisciplinary cases and perspectives.Entries shed new light on the field’s concerns with equity, justice and opportunity by addressing issues such as the impacts of inequality on urban and rural schooling, the effects of digitalization on the worlds of work and climate change, the allure of nationalism and the regimes imposed by the politicization of migration. Expert contributors advocate for breaking away from geographical and disciplinary borders to understand the persistence of coloniality in the global present. Authors re-consider the material, emotional and metaphorical relations with the more-than-human worlds as a foundation for building shared and sustainable educational futures.Written by established and emerging scholars, this thought-provoking Encyclopedia is an essential reference for graduate and undergraduate students of sociology and sociological theory, as well as education and education theory. It is also of great benefit to academic faculty and education practitioners.Key Features:Includes 85 entries from 113 international experts representing a diversity of contexts across the global South and North.Provides novel insights from an interdisciplinary team of scholars into the entanglements of race, class, gender and sexual identity, affect and materiality in social orders, and their wider influences on the politics of mobility and governance.Builds on new developments in global sociology to advocate for a heightened engagement with post and de-colonial critique in sociology of education.
