Curriculum Transmodernity

Towards a non-Derivative Itinerant Curriculum Theory

Series: 

Volume Editor:
This volume is a beacon against the epistemicidal nerve of the field. The volume explores numerous critical, post-structural, anti-colonial, and decolonial epistemological avenues to help dismantle such an epistemicidal blueprint. In doing so, contributors of the volume enjoy and explore the limitless potential of the itinerant curriculum theory to interrupt and disestablish the field’s original sin: eugenics. The volume champions a newer, itinerant theoretical path that addresses the theorycide the field is facing and calls for a radical cohabitus of multifaceted epistemological perspectives within and beyond Modern Western Eurocentric platforms, recognizing the world’s diverse and varied epistemological perspectives to address its needs. The volume unveils the splendour of the itinerant curriculum theory in the struggle against the educational epistemicide.

Index
The general audience will include scholars and students in education, sociology, philosophy, political science, peace studies, and interdisciplinary studies at both the undergraduate and, especially, graduate levels. The specific audience will include educators, decision-makers, policymakers, and those concerned with a more comprehensive approach to education and curriculum that addresses the social context. This book may also be of interest to human rights advocates, NGOs, think tanks, and others engaged in progressive causes. Given the current political context and the reality of ongoing visible and invisible warfare within the global social landscape, this book may also attract the attention of journalists and some members of the broader public.
