Rethinking Education
About the Book Series
In the face of the still dominant model of progressive education, the volumes in this series explore ways of thinking education otherwise – ways that give hope for coming generations and for the renewal of life. They offer visions for the future, manifestos, experimental curricula, speculative syllabi, and case studies of alternative education at work. They are short and provocative, intended for academics, researchers, professionals and students alike.
