Transforming Development in Education: From Coloniality to Rethinking, Reframing and Reimagining Possibilities

In this thought-provoking book, expert contributors challenge dominant global development and education narratives through an academic critique of contemporary coloniality in education, and move beyond critique to provide constructive ways forward to challenge and reinvent relations of domination and empower marginalised communities. Transforming Development in Education is a key resource for academics, researchers and students in education policy, comparative and international education, development studies and international relations. It presents key knowledge at the intersection between research, analysis, policy and practice, making it invaluable to international education policymakers and professionals.
