I notice the waivering between utopic and dystopic sentiments in this piece, leaning more towards the latter. I agree with the writer about teleology of the world getting thrown off kilter when we question our reductionist notions of progress. What this piece does, though, is argue that there is a potential for teleology in the dissonances and the edges of the chaos.

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.
