Deleuze and Guattari's thought on remainders of childhood has proven its worth for educational theory and philosophy. However, thus far the discussion has not paid much attention to their notion of infantilization, which reveals a new dimension of their understanding of childhood. In this article, I develop both their concept of becoming-child and…

Despite the heralding of the business ethics module as a turning point to reinvigorate ethical awareness among business graduates, the hope for any optimistic outcome quickly fades as the capitalistic ecosystem in business schools drowns the effectiveness of disseminating business ethics. This paper shares the plight of teaching business ethics in…

This paper examines a research project carried out in the city of Liverpool in Merseyside, UK, which drew on creative arts-based methodologies, popular education, and 'post-abyssal' epistemologies to co-create frameworks of knowledge with communities in struggle. A 'spatial vocabulary of power' for Merseyside was developed to render explicit the…

This article outlines the damage done by more than a decade of Conservative education policy and offers a set of arguments by which Labour could win support for a radical reconfiguration of formal education in England. It sets out elements from the Socialist Educational Association's "Manifesto for Education" in an attempt to inspire a…

This article aims to complement and contribute to the discussion of increasingly acute pressures facing Southern Africa's education systems due to migration trends, by placing such pressures within the broader context of instability across Africa and comparing this with other global conflict- and scarcity-driven migration patterns. Historically,…

Based on panel data from 36 cities in Northeast China spanning the years 2012 to 2021, this study employs the dual dimensions of "commonality" and "prosperity" to holistically assess the level of common prosperity. By developing a bidirectional panel fixed-effect model, this research conducts an empirical examination of the…

Doctoral education in Europe has changed significantly in the last two to three decades. This transformation, visible in the structuring dimensions of doctoral education, appears to indicate a move to a more instrumental approach. This paper aims to determine the prevalence of an instrumental concept of doctoral education in Portuguese…

Overwhelming waste is one of the most compelling issues that contemporary environmental and sustainability education (ESE) should address. Understanding waste as an embodiment and offspring of ongoing colonial relations in the Capitalocene, I explore how ESE could perform a string figure with a wasted world by decolonizing more-than-human…

Jean Baudrillard took the 'object' of everyday experience and developed it into the 'Object' that escapes the subject-object relationship, and in this way formulated a unique version of the theory of materialism. Taken in its extreme form, the later Baudrillard termed it the 'fatal strategy', that is, the strategy for eliminating the…

This article suggests a sophistical autonomous practice in response to Platonian Aristotelian philosophy's domination over education. It shows the dangers of empty education in which education is reduced to schooling the perfect citizen in the image of a perfect state. An example is given in which schooling in empty education is reduced to a tool…

This paper goes beyond -- transcends -- "pedagogy as justice," recognizing that justice, particularly in these present times, may not be enough. Its wager is with "pedagogies of and for life"; pedagogies that plant and cultivate, that push and enable other modes of living, despite the capitalist-modern-colonial-racist system,…

In this paper I explore social justice and equity research in music education through the lens of capitalist realism and accompanying concepts. I look at Fisher's ideas on hauntology and its connection to classical liberalism and neoliberalism. Fisher noted how some electronic music and pop music of the early 21st century is structured by…

Western literature has shown that elite universities are not culturally inclusive, presuming that these institutions predominantly reflect the culture of the affluent middle class. While cultural inclusion of socioeconomically disadvantaged students is a globally relevant issue, the overarching presumption does not necessarily apply to non-Western…

In this article, I examine the sustainability of employing philosophy for children (P4C) to address the ongoing ecological crises affecting Guam. I argue that although P4C aims to foster a more ecological form of living, its failure to cultivate contemplation and dialogue grounded in specific ecosystems renders it incapable of fostering generative…

This article situates the potential for intellectual work to be renewed through an enriched engagement with the relationship between indigenous protocols and artificial intelligence (AI). It situates this through a dialectical storytelling of the contradictions that emerge from the relationships between humans and capitalist technologies, played…
