Inhaltsangabe

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 Jandrić, and Tina Besley.

 

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Michael A. Peters (FRSNZ, FHSNZ, FPESA) is a globally recognized scholar whose interdisciplinary work spans philosophy of education, political economy, and ecological civilization. He holds the distinction of Emeritus Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University, and Research Associate in the Philosophy Program at Waikato University. A prolific author of over 120 books and 500 articles, he has shaped discourse in educational theory, philosophy, and critical policy studies worldwide, served 25 years as Editor-in-Chief of Educational Philosophy and Theory, and founded multiple international journals. 

 

Benjamin J. Green is an Assistant Professor at Teachers College, Beijing Language and Culture University, having previously lectured at Beijing Foreign Studies University and China Foreign Affairs University. He is the author of How China’s System of Higher Education Works (Routledge 2023), co-editor of the Handbook of Ecological Civilization (Springer 2025), as well as over 40 international publications in SSCI and/or Scopus-indexed journals. His work on collective intelligence, higher education governance, internationalization of higher education, US-China relations, and AI-driven educational development highlights an overarching concern for co-evolutionary (human-technology-nature) systemic adaptability in the face of increasingly complex global crises.  

 

Olivera Kamenarac is a Senior Lecturer in Education at Southern Cross University, Australia. Her research intersects the sociology of education, education policy, and feminist poststructuralist and posthumanist theories of subjectivity. With academic experience across Serbia, New Zealand, Ireland, Malta, Norway, and Australia, she investigates how educational structures and discourses (re)shape possibilities for be(com)ing with/through education. Committed to social justice, her scholarship analyses education as a contested space where power, policy, and politics entangle with transformative potential.  

 

Petar Jandrić is Professor and Vice-Dean at the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, Croatia. Petar’s research interests are at the postdisciplinary intersections between technologies, pedagogies, and the society, and research methodologies of his choice are inter-, trans-, and antidisciplinarity. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Postdigital Science and Education journal, Postdigital Science and Education book series,and Encyclopedia of Postdigital Science and Education. His recent books include Postdigital Research: Genealogies, Challenges, and Future Perspectives (2023) and Constructing Postdigital Research: Method and Emancipation (2023). 

 

Tina Besley (FRSA, FPESA, FAVP) is Visiting Professor, School of Education, Tsinghua University and was Distinguished Professor, Beijing Normal University (2018-2024).  Previously Professor and Associate Dean International, University of Waikato, Tina is past president of Philosophy of Education Society of Australia, and founding president of the Association for Visual Pedagogies. Her research draws on Foucault’s later work on subjectivity, free speech and governmentality, and explores policy, ethics, identities and interculturalism. Tina works closely with Michael A. Peters and many international scholars, publishing over 30 books, and numerous journal articles.
