Decolonizing Educational Research

From Ownership to Answerability

Beschreibung

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, this 10th Anniversary Edition continues to investigate the longstanding traditions of oppression, racism, and white supremacy that are systemically reseated and reinforced by learning and social interaction. Through 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. The new edition invites intergeneration knowing and contains rich stories about ways of learning, curriculum, grief, research frameworks, and abolition. It includes a fully updated introduction by the author that addresses the current context, as well as scholarly commentary from leaders in the field reacting to each chapter from the original publication. The 10th Anniversary Edition of Decolonizing Educational Research is essential reading for Foundations of Research, Qualitative Research Methods in Education, Research Ethics, and Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies courses.

Rezensionen

"Decolonizing Educational Research brilliantly interrogates the prevalent positivistic research framework. In an accessible, poetic, yet rigorous language, Leigh Patel courageously challenges even well-intentioned researchers and powerfully analyzes how educational research, by and large, produces careerist scholarship that remains linked to colonial scholarship. All educators and social scientists who take research seriously must read this book.
--Donaldo Macedo, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA

"An important crossroads for critical educational research . . . Patel has done something quite generous and generative for educational research: she has offered it an opportunity to reframe and redirect itself. She has offered it a lifeline."

--Eve Tuck, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Social Justice Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada, from the foreword
