Post-foundational approaches to comparative and international education blog
The PfA Reading Group is back with the following book chapter: Escobar, A. (2017). Conclusion. In Designs for the pluriverse: Radical interdependence, autonomy, and the making of worlds (pp. 202-228). Durham, NC: Duke University Press. With a new year upon us looking to a new decade, it is a season of transition. The group's organizer, Hang has asked us to think about the following: "In the spirit of a new year/decade, I picked this January reading to get us thinking about transitioning to alternative future(s): the thorny question of social change. This book rethinks the role of design in transitioning towards alternative world(s) and is a timely contribution to our current moment of acknowledging that everything has to change, while still figuring out how to go about doing this. The concluding chapter selected here offers more questions than answers, but I think these are important questions to contemplate as we continue to think about education and social change. It is clear that we need to re-design our institutions and ways of being, but how should we do this?" Want to join in on the synchronous discussion? Fill out this poll by tomorrow, January 17th to weigh in on times which accommodate your schedule. Even if you are not available to take part in the synchronous discussion, we welcome your thoughts in the comments below. If you need assistance accessing the reading, send us an email at [email protected] and we can help. Happy reading all!

AuthorThe SIG was founded in 2014 to open and foster new areas of inquiry within the field of CIE. In this blog, we aim to convene the curious who want to (and are) challenging and transcending limitations inherent in the field's traditional "foundations" (Western ideas of modernity, society, and development). We can open new conversations in the study of education and schooling globally, going beyond the brick and mortar CIES venue. Less about the topics themselves, this blog features exploration and exchange that allows us to stretch the conventional means by which education has been studied (e.g. disciplinary bodies, regional divisions, cross-national comparison). We are weaving in some of those ongoing conversations from PfA perspectives, with the hope that you, our readers/writers, will pick up threads and (re)conceptualize, (re)theorize, and (re)frame together.
