Producing, challenging and negotiating educated identities, a Postscript
This Postscript reflects on the challenge set down in this Special Issue ‘Unsettling Education’ on producing, challenging and negotiating educated identities to reimagine what ‘being educated’ is, what it means and how it is valued. Over and above the acquisition of certified bodies of knowledge and skills through formal institutions, educated identities emerge through action and agency in socially situated contexts. Drawing on discussions of ‘ex…
Hidden, scattered and reconstructed
This article is concerned with diverse ways in which indigenous people learn, engage with and construct knowledge in their everyday lives and livelihoods. Drawing on the concepts of lifeways it explores the nature of the shared values, meaningful social interactions and multiple forms of communication – including interactions with human, non-human entities and the spirit world – of indigenous peoples of the Southeast Peruvian Amazon. Indigenous A…
Indigenous Women and Adult Learning
Indigenous knowledge, skills and action
Drawing on long term ethnographic research in the SE Peruvian Amazon this article asks what kinds and forms of learning do indigenous women value, how are the knowledge and skills they value changing over time and what is the nature of their agency in the face of the discrimination and prejudice that permeate their lives. Harakmbut women’s lives have been transformed over the past 40 years in the wake of neoliberal globalisation, rapacious exploi…
Indigenous women and adult learning
In contemporary educational research, practice and policy, ‘indigenous women’ have emerged as an important focus in the global education arena. This Special Issue investigates what is significant a
Changing livelihoods and language repertoires
This article investigates how over the space of three decades the language repertoires of the Arakmbut people of the southeast Peruvian Amazon have shifted from being predominantly Harakmbut language based to Spanish language based. It asks not how one language has come to replace another in the daily lives of the Arakmbut, but what this shift represents in terms of changing lifestyles, social relations, desirable affiliations and the changing va…

Interrogating discourses of intercultural education
This article investigates discourses of intercultural education, taking as its starting point two ‘encounters’ in 2010 with contrasting aims and expectations of intercultural education. One is the launch of the 2010 Global Monitoring Report, where intercultural education is viewed as a means of overcoming marginalisation and promoting inclusion, and the other is in a rural Amazonian community context, where intercultural education serves to activ…

Conceptualising gender equality in research on education quality
This article sets out to re‐conceptualise gender equality in education quality. Four approaches to conceptualising gender equitable education quality are identified in the literature: human capital theory with a focus on parity and sameness for all; a human rights and power perspective, within which gender equality is viewed as transforming unjust structures; postcolonial critiques, which celebrate and recognise difference; and the view of develo…
Educational and indigenous justice in Africa
Marching to different rhythms
This contribution examines relationships between international NGOs and state education institutions in their efforts to achieve Education for All. It does this through an investigation of Oxfam GB's multi-level and multi-strategy approach to education in Tanzania. Looking at three components of this programme, it explores what a ‘one-programme approach’ means for Oxfam GB's education work and investigates its partnerships and advocacy relationsh…
Inexcusable absence – Why 60 million girls still aren't in school and what to do about it
by Maureen A. Lewis and Marlaine E Lockheed, Washington, DC, Center for Global Development, 2006, 180 pp., $18.95, ISBN 1‐933286‐14‐8 In the context of substantial increases in the number of girls
Beyond Access
The education MDGs
This article argues that there is a need for gender-sensitive curricula and pedagogies in schools in order to achieve good-quality outcomes for girls' education. It examines different dimensions of gender equality and draws on issues raised and discussed at two international seminars which challenged narrow views of curriculum and pedagogy. The article considers these issues in the context of a case study of the abuse of school girls in Mozambiqu…

Women's oral knowledge and the poverty of formal education in the SE Peruvian Amazon
Formal education is often assumed to be a positive force for change, enabling people to find a route out of poverty. However, this is not always the case. The Haramkbut community in the Peruvian Amazon are now questioning the widespread assumption that schooling can provide knowledge and skills for establishing alternative livelihoods. Indigenous knowledge and traditional forms of work have been devalued through economic changes forced upon the H…

Sustaining Indigenous Languages in Southeastern Peru
The paper examines Muhlhausler's thesis that to understand the decline and loss of small languages we must examine a large range of 'ecological' factors which comprise the support system within which the language has integrity and meaningfulness. Taking the case study of the Harakmbut peoples of Southeastern Peru, it examines the Harakmbut concept of territory (wandari) which provides parameters for understanding the linguistic ecology and the na…
