Flashpoint Epistemology Volume 2: Aporias of Complexity in Power, Politics and Methods in Education

Flashpoint epistemology explores the lived difficulties in teaching, policymaking, curriculum, and research among continuous practices of differentiation, challenging prevailing notions of distance and difference, comparative philosophy, worlding practices, and contact zones. It examines how technologies challenge and redefine racialization, gendering, and inter/nationalization, and is beneficial for researchers seeking new approaches to education's complexities, nested discourses, and enactment.

The 21st century is a time of remarkable claims about interconnection, technological innovation, and new affective intensities, while also facing challenges to the primacy and centrality of the human. Flashpoint epistemology is particularly attentive to the lived difficulties that arise in teaching, policymaking, curriculum, and research, particularly in the context of ongoing practices of differentiation, for which there is no pre-existing template for judgment, resolution, or action.

Flashpoint Epistemology Volume 2 brings together innovative sociopolitical research perspectives on the flashpoints that emerge amidst appeals to globalization, synoptic policy approaches, and new technologies, however defined. The chapters in this volume challenge prevailing notions of distance and difference, comparative philosophy, worlding practices, and contact zones. They explore the complexities involved in preserving and questioning identity as subjects are remade, geopolitics are unhomed, and new approaches to relationality, youth, and classrooms are developed. The volume also examines how technologies challenge and redefine racialization, gendering, and inter/nationalization, as well as the reworking of oppression, success, well-being, politics, method, and power.

This volume will be of great benefit to researchers seeking new approaches to the complexities of education, nested discourses, and the ever-moving horizons of enactment. It is also a key text for post/graduate students and teachers interested in the technological impact, globalization, policymaking, and new ways of conducting research in contexts of digitalization and social media.
