 | Decolonizing Educational Research: From Ownership to Answerability Subjects: Education; Social Sciences; Educational Research; Philosophy of Education; Research Methods in Education; Education Policy & Politics; Sociology of Education; Sociology & Social Policy; Education Policy; Equality & Human Rights; Research Methods - Soc. Policy; Decolonizing Educational Research examines the ways through which coloniality manifests in contexts of knowledge and meaning making, specifically within educational research and formal schooling. Purposefully situated beyond popular deconstructionist theory and anthropocentric perspectives, the book investigates the longstanding traditions of oppression, racism, and white supremacy that are systemically reseated and reinforced by learning and social interaction. Through these meaningful explorations into the unfixed and often interrupted narratives of culture, history, place, and identity, a bold, timely, and hopeful vision emerges to conceive of how research in secondary and higher education institutions might break free of colonial genealogies and their widespread complicities. Leigh Patel is Associate Professor of Education in the Department of Teacher Education/Special Education, Curriculum and Instruction at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College, USA. |
