This book explores the colonial epistemologies that have dominated the transfer of curriculum knowledge and offers an alternative, relational mode of knowledge transfer and negotiation within curriculum studies research and praxis. It contests the unilateral logics of reason and thought that continue to dominate modern curriculum studies and provides a relational onto-epistemic network as an alternative means to overcome epistemological colonialism.

This comprehensive volume delves into the pervasive colonial epistemologies that have long shaped the transfer of curriculum knowledge within and across nation-states. By adopting a historical approach, it sheds light on the mechanisms of epistemological colonialism and presents an alternative, relational mode of knowledge transfer and negotiation within the field of curriculum studies.

World-renowned experts in curriculum studies employ a historical lens to explore the intricate dynamics of cultural knowledge negotiation, transfer, and confrontation in curriculum studies and schooling. Through this lens, they contextualize contemporary epistemes as deeply embedded in historical processes and politically produced, challenging the unilateral logics of reason and thought that continue to dominate modern curriculum studies.

The volume critically examines the doxa of comparative reason, the politics of knowledge and identity, the construction of twenty-first-century educational subjects, and multiculturalism. It offers a relational onto-epistemic network as a transformative alternative to dissect and overcome epistemological colonialism.

This text is of immense value to researchers, academics, and educators engaged in curriculum studies, as well as those interested in international and comparative education. It will also appeal to those engaged in post-colonial discourses and the philosophy of education. By unraveling the colonial roots of knowledge production and dissemination, this volume contributes to a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape.
