Opis

This book seeks to address contemporary paradigms of education and learning in Latin America, a region at the forefront of counter-hegemonic processes. The central question to be addressed is how, in times of historical rupture, political reconstruction, and epistemic formation, the production of paradigms rooted in ‘other’ logics, cosmologies, and realities renegotiates and redefines concepts of education, learning, and knowledge. This book transcends disciplinary, epistemological, and methodological boundaries in education and learning by engagement with ‘other’ paradigms. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Lifelong Education.
