Education for Sustainable Development in an Unequal World
Biopolitics, Differentiation and Affirmative Alternatives
AvBeniamin Knutsson,Linus Bylundm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
392 kr
Skickas
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is recurrently depicted as an enterprise that unites humanity in a common pursuit of a more just and sustainable world. But how is this enterprise pursued on a planet that is enormously unequal? Drawing on biopolitical theory and rich empirical data from different contexts around the world, this book explores how ESD is unpacked depending on whether people are rich or poor. The book demonstrates how ESD is adapted to the lifestyles and living conditions of different populations. The implication of this depoliticized sensitivity to local ‘realities’, the book argues, is that inequality becomes accommodated and that different responsibilities are assigned to rich and poor. Ultimately, the book considers alternatives to this biopolitical divide.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.The transition to more just and sustainable development requires radical change across a wide range of areas and particularly within the nexus between learning and work. This book takes an expansive view of vocational education and training that goes beyond the narrow focus of much of the current literature and policy debate. Drawing on case studies across rural and urban settings in Uganda and South Africa, the book offers a new way of seeing this issue through an exploration of the multiple ways in which people learn to have better livelihoods. Crucially, it explores learning that takes place informally online, within farmers’ groups, and in public and private educational institutions.Offering new insights and ways of thinking about this field, the book draws out clear implications for theory, policy and practice in Africa and beyond.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This collection pinpoints the intersecting concerns of higher education studies and island studies. It argues for the value of the small island for exploring research and practice inhigher education. Presenting analysis of higher education provision in a range of island contexts from across the globe, the book explores the challenges and opportunities of small island higher education and sheds light on the practices and experiences of those involved. It also demonstrates how the small island offers a valuable context from which to explore the scalar dynamics of higher education provision more widely and how these contexts can disrupt normative discourses, understandings and practices in education policy, curricula and experiences.

Assembling Comparison
Understanding Education Policy through Mobilities and Assemblage
AvSteven Lewis,Rebecca Spratt
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
607 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book combines assemblage theory and policy mobilities to inform the study of comparative and international education (CIE), focusing on education policy and how such policy moves are enacted.These approaches challenge taken-for granted and universalizing concepts in policy research and policy work in CIE – such as the nation-state, policy making/policy enactment, global/local, Global North/Global South – and highlight how policy is contingent on emerging through complex relations between people and places. Using illustrative cases drawn from research and practice in CIE and education development, the book demonstrates how these ideas can be used in the analysis of policy and the application of this approach in real life.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book traces the process of producing testimonio with the children of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), an insurgent group during Peru’s internal war (1980–2000). It examines how the group navigates post-war struggles over memory while dealing with the ‘children of terrorists’ stigma.Drawing on a cycles of inquiry approach, the book theorizes three movements for memory work: a realist presentation of testimonial narratives, a ‘politics of memory’ engaging with the conditions of production and a ‘poetics of memory’ that troubles memory, voice and representation for qualitative inquiry in post-war contexts.Challenging the notion of war-torn countries as pure devastation, the author invites readers to see them as sites of knowledge and creativity, with much to offer for education, peace studies and social justice research.

Transforming Humanitarian Partnerships
Dismantling Colonial Legacies for Refugee Education
AvZeena Zakharia,Francine Menashym. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
356 kr
Skickas
This book examines how global humanitarian systems shape partnerships in education in emergencies. Focusing on the Syrian refugee crisis and the education response in Lebanon, it reveals how colonial legacies, structural racism and the marketization of aid enable Global North actors to dictate policies and practices, while marginalizing local voices and knowledge. Yet in moments of crisis, community-led initiatives and smaller partnerships prove to be agile and responsive.Rather than offering celebratory accounts of “partnership,” the book draws on rigorous research to foreground the structural inequities that constrain them—while also pointing to possibilities for more just, community-driven alternatives. A vital resource for scholars, practitioners and policy makers, it offers concrete pathways for reshaping humanitarian practice to support sustainable, responsive education for refugee learners.

Teacher Professionalism in the Global South
A Decolonial Perspective

Postcolonial Education and Development in Peripheral Malaysia
Building Scientific Aspirations
AvAizuddin M. Anuar
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 004 kr
Kommande
This book offers a compelling examination of Malaysia's ambitious ‘60:40 policy’ which prioritizes science education as a pathway to national development.Drawing on personal narratives and rural experiences, including the author's own family stories, this ethnographically rich study reveals how young Malaysians navigate aspirations for development through STEM education with profound ambivalence rather than wholesale acceptance. Aizuddin demonstrates how these experiences constitute critiques of development orthodoxy, challenging dominant narratives about science education's transformative power.Essential for scholars of postcolonial studies, education policy and Southeast Asian development, this work provides nuanced insights into how peripheral communities negotiate the promises and contradictions of science-driven modernization in postcolonial nation-building.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.This book examines how education can drive change for marginalized communities across the Global South. Drawing on evidence from 67 projects in India, Rwanda, Somaliland/Somalia and South Africa, the book shows how education can expand youth livelihoods, strengthen sustainable cities and advance climate action. Yet for education to fulfil this role, it must be reimagined—tackling entrenched inequalities of class, caste, clan, gender, race, rurality and indigeneity. Arguing for more democratic, public and inclusive forms of education, the book calls for research that prioritises collaboration and equity over top-down models, offering a bold new agenda for transformative practice.
