The Precarious Future of Education: Risk and Uncertainty in Ecology, Curriculum, Learning, and Technology: 2017 (Education, Psychoanalysis, and Social Transformation)

This volume examines the challenges weighing on the future of education in the face of globalization in the twenty-first century. Bringing together eleven authors who explore the paradox of an “after” to the future of education, each chapter in this book targets three important areas: ecology as understood in the broader framework of globalization and pedagogy; curriculum concerns which impact learning; and the pervasiveness of technology in education today.
