Opis

This book argues that by rethinking the way we relate to time, we can fundamentally rethink the way we conceive education. It provides an epistemological, historical and theoretical framework that will serve as a comprehensive resource for critical reflection on the relationship between the experience of time and emancipatory education. Drawing upon time and rhythm studies, complexity theories and educational research, Alhadeff-Jones reflects upon the temporal and rhythmic dimensions of education to address current societal and educational challenges.
