Imagining Anti-oppressive Education Futures: Agitations for Justice (Local/Global Issues in Education)

Schools, universities and education more broadly are at the centre of multiple contestations over the past, present and future.In the urgency of climate change, artificial intelligence, threats to the rights of marginalised groups, the rise of war, and ongoing colonial and capitalist dominance, challenges for education abound.In addition, with increased state repression, there is a pressing need to rethink the strategies of activism and agitation for just societies. This collection brings together scholars across a range of contexts who are grappling with these challenges and engaging a radical imagination through theorisation, experimentation and speculation, to transform education into a site of justice and possibility.The authors in this book speak back to dominant discourses and methods in education policy and practice, offering alternative ways of approaching and addressing policy dilemmas in areas such as LGBTQ, climate change and indigenous issues.Based on on-the-ground research
