Towards a society of equals’
The radical inclusion of the different interests and powers of all is fundamental to social equality. Moreover, both democracy and the associated practices of cooperation depend upon an equality of different voices if they are not to fall into forms of authoritarianism. Cooperation involves the free association of individuals who aggregate their individual powers to complete projects they could not accomplish alone. Those mutual dependencies requ…
Towards a society of equals
This article explores the wider critical and creative powers of education to bring about a society where no one person is valued more than another and where each person is celebrated for their differences – this the author calls the ‘society of equals’. It is argued that discourses of equality are not only co-extensive with democracy; they are co-extensive with co-operation and education. The extent to which equalities between people are limited …
Rethinking democracy and education
What stands between individuals and their freedom to build futures where no one is enslaved, subjected or exploited by powerful individuals, groups, forms of organisation, elites, class divisions, faiths or states?Is there hope for educational strategies in a contemporary scene pervaded by discourses where truth, the stock-in-trade of education, is replaced by 'post-truth', which deals in undermining knowledge and reason?A century after the publi…
What's Wrong with Democracy at the Moment, and Why it Matters for Research and Education
The article provides historical and political background to contemporary issues facing education and research. In doing so, it argues that there has been a fundamental inversion of democracy. What this means is that instead of democracy providing a political framework for the voices of people, it is employed as a cover for the interests of the wealthy. The article explores this inversion, drawing upon the theoretical insights of the Annaliste sch…
Schooling and Education after Neoliberalism
Suffering and the Work of Emancipation through Education
It is argued that for those who are not the successful beneficiaries of the system, schooling creates the conditions for lifelong suffering, in both psychological and social terms, without serious recourse to a vital and effective public sphere of debate, decision and action where their voices may be heard and taken into account. The authors develop this argument in terms of three foci. (1) the example of the reduction of professional work to ass…
Obama and the 'Arab Spring
For a period, in the run up to the election (2007–2008) and the months after the election, the name ‘Obama’ signified hope for millions, not just in America but across the world. As the hope turned to disappointment, the financial crisis deepened and the Arab Spring renewed a call for a ‘humanity’ that could transcend the differences of nations and faiths. What can be learnt from such events about the pedagogies of hope, disappointment and public…
Dangerous spaces
There is nothing natural about space as it is understood here. Spacing is an act that constructs relationships, intervals, separations and thus boundaries. The earth has no territories other than those imagined and enforced through acts of territorialisation. A city has its private spaces closed to open access and open spaces that are inscribed with what can or cannot be done. As individuals pass by, stop and talk, or do such mundane things such …
Researching Violence, Democracy and the Rights of People
Violence, democracy and rights are issues that are not fully addressed in research methodology literatures, yet violence is of vital interest in substantive and theoretical debates across the social sciences, education, philosophy, politics and cultural studies. Methodology needs to be informed by, and be relevant to, the debates and practices within and across these perspectives on the worlds of everyday life. Research is fundamentally entwined …
Researching and Representing Wrongs, Injuries and Disagreements
It is argued that research involves the constant search for truth and that, in the context of aspiring towards social justice, this search is not merely a technical problem. Freedom as a member of a social group is essentially paradoxical: individuals want to express themselves but living with others requires the subsumption of at least some of these desires for self-expression. This is illustrated in this article with reference to several educat…
Radical Research
Radical Research explores the view that research is not a neutral tool to be employed without bias in the search for truth. Rather the radical roots of research are to be seen in the focus on freedom and emancipation from blind allegiance to tradition, ‘common sense’, religion, or powerful individuals and organisations. Radical Research introduces and draws upon leading contemporary debates and data gathered from a diversity of funded projects in…
