NW 28: Beyond Chains of Reason: Epistemological Perspectives on Socio-Technical Infrastructures, Value Production, and Ordering of Difference in Education
Beyond Chains of Reason: Epistemological Perspectives on Socio-Technical Infrastructures, Value Production, and Ordering of Difference in Education
28. Sociologies of Education
The Network 28 Sociologies of Education’s call invites critical reflection on contemporary education amid rising nationalism, digitalization, and fragile democratic governance. It addresses key tensions, such as individual versus communal and competition versus cooperation. The call highlights how diverse actors project value-laden imaginaries that shape educational practices alongside socio-technical transformations. We invite research that explores the infrastructural nature, rationalities, and implications of these futures, focusing on three areas: reconfiguring educational spaces and temporalities, historicizing these shifts, and understanding how norms produce value and comparison. The call seeks to challenge limiting logic to foster collective visions, welcoming theoretical and empirical contributions.
