Postdigital Education for Development - by Michael A Peters & Olivera Kamenarac & Benjamin J Green (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This edited volume unpacks the profound deterritorializing and reterritorializing shifts taking place across the globalized, networked educational landscape, interjecting into pervasive, predominant education development (EdDev) discourses. Highlighting the transdisciplinarity of postdigital studies, this book engages with core facets of contemporary educational development, such as educational geopolitics, policy discourses, global funding institutions, cooperative developmental initiatives, national imaginaries of educational development, the university, stakeholder collectives, and pedagogical and curricular frameworks. It provides a comprehensive understanding of current EdDev discourse and practice, its failings, and how technology-driven disruptions can open up avenues for alternative reimaginings of educational futures. The research presented foregrounds a conceptualization of inclusive postdigital educational ecosystems that catalyze educational futures built around human-centered technological advancements in support of sustainable bio-digital planetary development. This book is suited for educators and researchers of educational development and policy.

Postdigital Education for Development is complemented by The Geopolitics of Postdigital Educational Development, also edited by Michael A. Peters, Ben Green, Olivera Kamenarac, Petar Jandric, and Tina Besley.
