The weakening publicness and democracy of public education and growing intervention of non-state actors in education governance: The case of Denmark, France, and Portugal
This article discusses how the increasing interventions of non-state actors in education governance are shaping democratic decision-making in public schools. We focus on the effects of these interventions in public schools in Denmark, France, and Portugal regarding the interconnected dimensions typically advocated by non-state actors: the use of international large-scale assessments, accountability, datafication and digitalization of education. D…
The ‘grand simulation’ and dreams of success by assessment: Baudrillardian reflections on (trans-)national school policy
Since the 1990s, European school policy has been steered by management dreams that systematic monitoring and assessment would guide schools and society toward a future of greater quality, efficiency, and growth. This article, drawing on Jean Baudrillard, explores whether it makes sense to rearticulate this dream of optimization by assessment in terms of a ‘grand simulation’ that brings into circulation a play of signs in terms of global quantifia…
Multitude, weaponize ye theories of globalization! Deleuzian strategies to affirm diversity vs predatory capitalism and nationalisms
The article explores the potential of theory in expanding how we can think about a globalization that can encompass the affirmation of diversity. This happens at a critical time, when policy areas, including education, are constrained by a global mode of neoliberal predatory capitalism that is in turn confronted by a return to national(ist) solutions. The article takes a Deleuzian approach to exploring potentials and pitfalls in a vision of pract…
The ‘fear of falling behind regime’ embraces school policy: State vs federal policy struggles in California and Texas
This article maps the genealogies of how California and Texas have dealt with school policy. The twin purpose is to shed light onto the dynamics governing the formation of K-12 education policy in two influential and different states, and visualizing the intensification of state-federal interaction that has gradually evolved into a national school discourse since the 1960s and with particular speed since the 1990s. The argument is that an overarc…
How reforms morph as they move. Performative approaches to education reforms and their un/intended effects
Seize the opportunity to think differently! A Deleuzian approach to unleashing becomings in education
If the purpose of philosophy is creating concepts that make it possible to think differently, education surely needs philosophical assistance. Sketching a Deleuzian approach to education, this article explores a practice of thinking about and performing ‘school,’ ‘teacher,’ and ‘learning’ differently. A complex social situation such as a school needs routines and clear role expectations, to ensure efficient action. How do we resist, nonetheless, …
La question sociale revisitée. La configuration de la dimension sociale dans l'espace éducatif européen
La fabrication de la question sociale est problématisée ici dans deux discours historiques sur l’intégration sociale : le discours philanthropique et celui de l’Espace Européen de l’Enseignement Supérieur (EEES). De quelle manière et sous quelles circonstances, la relation entre les sujets inclus et exclus et la société se reproduit-elle et fonctionne-t-elle d’une époque à une autre ? La méthode généalogique utilisée est inspirée de la notion de …
Plug into ‘the modernizing machine’! Danish university reform and its transformable academic subjectivities
‘The modernizing machine’ codes individual bodies, things and symbols with images from New Public Management, neoliberal and Knowledge Economy discourses. Drawing on Deleuze & Guattari’s concept of machines, this article explores how ‘the modernizing machine’ produces neo-liberal modernization of the public sector. Taking its point of departure in Danish university reform, the article explores how the university is transformed by this desiring-pr…
University Academics at a Crossroads: Continuity and Transformation in Danish University Reform
Within an overall policy script aimed at creating fewer "world-class" institutions, Danish universities are currently being remade to better serve the world of work and employment, the demands of high-technology industry, and the needs of society, which are increasingly described and defined in terms of appeals to "relevance to the economy/working life," "value" and "efficiency." This partially replaces what is identified as a "democracy" discour…
Discursive strategies that individualize: CVs and appraisal interviews
Professionals in education must increasingly speak of themselves through an individualizing discourse that commits them to a lifelong and life-encompassing learning and working project.By means of techniques like CVs and appraisal interviews, post-signifying regimes conjure up discursive spaces that thrive on the language of commitment, love and enthusiasm.This urges professionals to speak of their role and personality in accordance with the visi…
