Bloomsbury Handbook of Foucault and Education
Rouhollah Aghasaleh | Tristan Gleason | James Burns
Education / Philosophy, Theory & Social Aspects
This book surveys and extends Foucault's influence on educational research, covering the ways Foucauldian concepts and methodological approaches have been used in the field, and points to future directions for scholarship. Written by academics from around the world, the chapters show how Foucault's work can help educators and researchers navigate the intricate intersections of power and knowledge in education. It offers a nuanced exploration of disciplinary mechanisms, surveillance, and the dynamics of power within educational institutions in the context of teaching, learning, and institutional structures. The chapters cover a range of topics including comparative education, ethics, social movements, critical pedagogy, queer theory, critical race theory, biopolitics and discipline. Written for educators, students, and researchers, this handbook serves as an invaluable resource for fostering a deeper understanding of the global dimensions of Foucault's impact on education.
