Philosophy of Education in a Dehumanizing World
Collective Writing
This paper is a summary of philosophy, theory, and practice arising from collective writing experiments conducted between 2016 and 2022 in the community associated with the Editors’ Collective and more than 20 scholarly journals. The main body of the paper summarises the community’s insights into the many faces of collective writing. Appendix 1 presents the workflow of the article’s development. Appendix 2 lists approximately 100 collectively wri…
Education, truth and subjectivity
Over recent years, it has been claimed that we live in a ‘post-truth’ age: a moment in history where the ideal of truth seems to have been abandoned. The prevailing attitude towards truth is not one of antagonism but of indifference. Should this bother us? If so, why? What might we mean by ‘truth’? How is truth relevant to education? One thinker who can help us in addressing these questions is the Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaar…
Education and the Ethics of Attention
This paper argues that the influential French thinker, Simone Weil, has something distinctive and important to offer educational and ethical inquiry. Weil’s ethical theory is considered against the backdrop of her life and work, and in relation to her broader ontological, epistemological and political position. Pivotal concepts in Weil’s philosophy – gravity, decreation and grace – are discussed, and the educational implications of her ideas are …

Nationwide assessment of the mental health of UK Doctoral Researchers
Doctoral Researchers (DRs) are an important part of the academic community and, after graduating, make substantial social and economic contributions. Despite this importance, DR wellbeing has long been of concern. Recent studies have concluded that DRs may be particularly vulnerable to mental health problems, yet direct comparisons of the prevalence of mental health problems between this population and control groups are lacking. Here, by compari…
Conscientization, compassion, and madness
Over the last two decades, a number of scholars have considered aspects of Paulo Freire’s work from an aesthetic point of view. Lewis (2011), for example, critiques Freire’s use of Francisco Brenan

Philosophy of education in a new key
What is the future of Philosophy of education? Or as many of scholars and thinkers in this final ‘future-focused’ collective piece from the Philosophy of Education in a New Key Series put it, what are the futures—plural and multiple—of the intersections of ‘philosophy’ and ‘education?’ What is ‘Philosophy’; and what is ‘Education’, and what role may ‘enquiry’ play? Is the future of education and philosophy embracing—or at least taking seriously—a…

A Comparative Analysis of Corporate and Independent Foundations
Justin Koushyar, Wesley Longhofer, Peter W. Roberts Sociological Science, December 15, 2015 DOI 10.15195/v2.a28 Abstract Notwithstanding some visible debates, systematic evidence about the implications of greater corporate involvement in the social sector is sparse
Paulo Freire and Utopian Education

Paulo Freire and the Politics of Education
Jacob Neumann provides a thoughtful reading of Paulo Freire in the 21st century: Education, dialogue, and transformation. His comments on the importance of contextualising Freire’s work and the value of openness in engaging Freirean ideas are insightful and helpful. His use of the term ‘apolitical’ is, however, rather more problematic. Drawing on points made in Paulo Freire in the 21st century, and with links to Freire’s wider philosophy and peda…

Doubt, Despair and Hope in Western Thought
This article examines the importance of doubt in Western philosophy, with particular attention to the work of Søren Kierkegaard and Miguel de Unamuno. Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author Johannes Climacus ventures down the pathway of doubt, finds it perplexing and difficult and discovers that he is unable to return to his pre-doubting self. In despair, the meaningfulness of his life is called into question. Unamuno, a great admirer of Kierkegaard, …

Bridging Literary and Philosophical Genres
Both literature and philosophy, as genres of writing, can enable us to address important ontological, epistemological and ethical questions. One author who makes it possible for readers to bridge these two genres is Albert Camus. Nowhere is this more evident than in Camus' short novel, The Fall. The Fall, through the character and words of Jean-Baptiste Clamence, prompts readers to reflect deeply on themselves, their motivations and commitments, …

Intellectuals, Tertiary Education and Questions of Difference
In contemplating the roles and responsibilities of intellectuals in the 21st century, the notion of ‘difference’ is significant in at least two senses. First, work on the politics of difference allows us to consider the question ‘For whom does the intellectual speak?’ in a fresh light. Second, we can ask: ‘To what extent, and in what ways, might our activities as intellectuals make a difference?’ Thinkers such as Foucault, Kristeva, Lyotard, and …
Learning and Working
The school to work transition in Central and Eastern Europe is a highlighted research topic because of the market transformation. The article investigates graduates from tertiary education from the perspective of their human capital investments, labelled as ‘double status position’ when students study and work at the same time and acquire work experience during their studies. The article distinguishes two forms of this activity: study-related and…
Attention, asceticism, and grace
The work of the French thinker Simone Weil has exerted an important influence on scholars in a wide range of fields. To date, however, her writings have attracted comparatively little interest from educationists. This article discusses some of the key concepts in Weil’s philosophy — gravity, grace, decreation, and attention — and assesses their significance for the arts and humanities in higher education

Sustainable Regional Planning
Sustainable development involves balancing economic growth with current and future needs. Regional sustainable development faces many challenges. Sustainability requires zone-specific indicators. Regional planning is essential for sustainable development because land use, transportation, and energy are interdependent. Europe, especially Scandinavia, could lead sustainable practices due to its progressive government and infrastructure. Data-driven…

Bridging East and West—Or, a Bridge Too Far? Paulo Freire and the Tao Te Ching
This article considers key differences and similarities between Freirean and Taoist ideals. I limit my focus to the Tao Te Ching (attributed to Lao Tzu), paying brief attention to the origins of this classic work of Chinese philosophy before concentrating on several themes of relevance to Freire's work. An essay by James Fraser (1997), who makes three references to the Tao Te Ching in his discussion of love and history in Freire's pedagogy, provi…
Learning Through Partnering
Organizational partnerships offer a variety of benefits to participants. Besides being able to leverage resources and accomplish broad objectives, organizations can also learn about themselves through the experience of partnering. The article addresses how partnerships, especially those involving universities and community organizations, can best benefit from the learning potential in a partnership. Drawing from the 13 conference presentations of…
Dual Career Pathways
This paper explores career mobility in the family, between the time of marriage and the time of data collection. The upward and downward moves of husbands and of wives are analysed separately, in the light of various theoretical frameworks, such as advantage redistribution, advantage accumulation, and status similarity. Empirically, the statistical models consider cohort and age differences, work experience, the social characteristics of responde…

The Stranger Within
In Fyodor Dostoevsky’s influential novel Notes from underground, we find one of the most memorable characters in nineteenth century literature. The Underground Man, around whom everything else in this book revolves, is in some respects utterly repugnant: he is self-centred, obsessive and cruel. Yet he is also highly intelligent, honest and reflective, and he has suffered significantly at the hands of others. Reading Notes from underground can be …
The politics of curriculum reform in New Zealand
This article addresses the impact of neoliberal thought on curriculum reform in New Zealand. A new rhetoric of neutrality and fairness, grounded in a view of the market as a ‘level playing field’ for maximizing student choice, is identified. Particular attention is paid to allegations by a powerful lobby group, the New Zealand Business Roundtable (NZBR), of political correctness in The New Zealand Curriculum Framework. While NZBR critics have por…
A New Patriotism? Neoliberalism, citizenship and tertiary education in New Zealand
This paper argues that a new patriotism has emerged in New Zealand over recent years. This has been promoted in tandem with the notion of advancing New Zealand as a knowledge economy and society. The new patriotism encourages New Zealanders to accept, indeed embrace, a single, shared vision of the future: one structured by a neoliberal ontology and the demands of global capitalism. This constructs a narrow view of citizenship and reduces the poss…
On Method
Anglophone comparative lawyers often bemoan the neglect of their discipline by mainstream legal scholarship and practice. Comparative law is said to be shunned as a juridical Cinderella,1 a 'subject in search of an audience';2 and its most vocal advocates are in no doubt about the reasons for comparativism's exclusion from the dance. The strength of feeling in some quarters might be gauged from John Langbein's exasperated conclusions, arrived at,…

Assimilation and Aboriginal Teacher Education
The theories upon which the main institutions concerned with Aboriginal education rest are characterised by delusion and ethnocentrism. When we describe such institutions as 'Aboriginal', we tend to lose sight of the fact that they are essentially European creations. Most of the problems we hear about in Aboriginal education are, in this sense, European rather than Aboriginal. This position paper is taken from a longer essay on what seems to be c…
Policy Review Section
In this Policy Review Section, Jim Campbell and Ian Taylor examine the role of the European Investment Bank. They point out that a high proportion of its work has focused on capital-intensive energy-related investment and conclude that although the Bank's failings are not entirely its own fault, it is not really an appropriate instrument for regional development. Continuing the discussion of inner city policy (see Policy Review Section, Reg. Stud…

Paulo Freire and political correctness
This paper addresses the issue of political correctness from a Freirean point of view. An identification of the range of areas to which the label ‘political correctness’ has been applied reveals a confusingly multifaceted term. The author concentrates on the key characteristics of intolerance, conformity, the impeding of questioning and criticism, the stifling of debate, and the denial of alternatives. Thus defined, ‘political correctness’ has no…
