Denaturalising “the digital child”
Contemporary children’s digital rights discourse increasingly assumes that human flourishing depends on safe, optimised participation in digital environments and that institutional futures are inherently digital. This article develops a genealogical theory of “the digital child” as a mediated subject produced through the convergence of digital rights discourse, platform infrastructures, and compulsory institutional environments. Using schooling a…
Infantilising education through risk-averse educational technologies of calculability
This paper describes a paradox in education where AI-driven technologies foster risk-averse learning while contributing to heightened global uncertainties. We highlight how the promises of AI promote risk-aversion at the individual level through personalised learning while inducing unpredictable ‘superrisks’ at the societal level, affecting areas like the labour market, environment, societal relations. This paradox exposes gaps in educational pol…

Technologically, data can be collected by third parties, rendering schools unable to control their use. Legal frameworks partially achieve data governance as businesses continue to exploit existing loopholes. Education data use practices undergo no prior ethical reviews. And at a personal level, students h…

Aligning education with business needs can offer early employment, however, accelerating technological developments risk subjecting hyper-specialised individuals to highly unpredictable labour markets a…
