Critical Geographies in/of Education

Revisiting Discursive and Spatial Reckonings

About this book

This book assembles pioneering work that first applied critical geography's concepts to educational theory, offering a comprehensive introduction to this emerging field. In recent years, spatial theory has transcended traditional geography, permeating diverse academic disciplines, particularly within social theory.

The volume demonstrates how spatial and discursive frameworks can fundamentally reshape our understanding of education across formal and informal contexts. By examining how spatial practices and embodied experiences configure learning environments, the chapters in this volume illuminate the profound impact of the "spatial turn" on educational discourse. Through compelling examples from schools, classrooms, and communities, they explore how spatial dynamics shape educational experiences and interactions.

Featuring the special issue on Critical Geographies of Education originally published in Education Studies, this book is complemented by new reflection pieces that trace the field's intellectual development. Its interdisciplinary framework offers valuable insights for scholars across Sociology of Education, Cultural Studies, Urban Education, Curriculum Theory, and Teacher Education. Graduate students investigating the complex intersections of space, place, power, and identity in educational contexts will find this collection an indispensable resource that bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications.
