Rethinking critical race theory: Education against elimination in a time of genocide
As “remigration” – the proposal to expel migrants, mostly Muslims – is touted by far right politicians in multiple parts of Europe and in the USA, and anti-Muslim racism is on the rise globally, th...
A case for embedding structural analyses of race and racism in comparative and international education
Race and racism are global historically-shaped structures that affecteducational systems and practices across the world. Thus, they shouldbe key concerns of comparative and international education (CIE) –a position that is increasingly recognised within the field. In this paper,we explore the possibilities and resources of three interlinked analy-tical perspectives – racialisation, racial states, and colonial racial capit-alism – for the field of…
The United Kingdom's 'free speech crisis: From the fringes to a mainstream political project 2010-2023
This article traces the mainstreaming of the idea that there is a 'free speech crisis' in the United Kingdom, from its emergence in the 2010s to the Free Speech Act of 2023. We argue that 'free speech' is initially constructed during this period in opposition to an imagined 'uncivilised', 'external' Muslim other. However, by the end of the 2010s, the threat to 'free speech' is imagined as much more widespread, and as coming from 'inside the West'…
Towards a Decolonial and Anti‐Racist Analysis of the Nation‐State and Nationalism
This paper addresses two calls emerging out of Sociological theory—against methodological nationalism and methodological whiteness—in relation to the study of nations, nation‐states and nationalisms. Building on Meghji's synergy of decolonial and race critical theory, I propose a historicized and globalized analysis of nationalisms and the nation‐state which can respond to these calls whilst also being attentive to the nation‐state and nationalis…
Furthering racial liberalism in UK higher education: The populist construction of the 'free speech crisis
In this article we analyse the constructed 'free speech crisis' associated with higher education (HE) in the United Kingdom (UK). We examine the media discourses from 2012 to 2022 which led to the establishment of a sense of crisis around speech in universities and, ultimately, to the Freedom of Speech Act in May 2023. We undertake a critical discourse analysis focused on the constructions of universities and university students in two major righ…
Romani Students’ Responses to Antigypsyist Schooling in a Segregated School in Romania
In this article I explore the responses of Romani students in a segregated school in Romania to majoritarian deficit narratives constructed about them, investigating the specific nature of such deficit discourses and the specific strategies of resistance deployed by the students. To do so, I designed a theoretical framework which fused elements of Foucauldian and Critical Race Theory (CRT). The case study was underpinned by principles of in-depth…
