The work of Judith Butler has been at the forefront of both theorising the subject as a product of power and explicating possibilities for political alliances and action that are available to such subjects. Mobilising a range of philosophical resources from Hegel and Foucault to Lacan Levinas Wittig and Arendt her work has held a core concern with the way that the subject is made in terms of sex gender and sexuality and has been an invaluable resource in the development of queer theory and thinking about queer practice. Butlerâs scholarly work has been aimed primarily at a philosophical audience yet her insights into the constitution constraint and agency of subjects are profoundly political and have become invaluable resources in feminist queer anti-racist and anti-capitalist work. Over the last two decades she has been a major influence on research concerned with social justice in education and has changed the ways that classroom practices and relationships can be understood transforming the way we think about both âteacherâ and âstudentâ. This collection brings together some of the most outstanding work in education that has developed and applied Butlerâs work to empirical questions translating her philosophy for an education audience and providing compelling analyses of the ways that the subjects of education are made how inequalities are produced in the minutiae of practice and how educationâs subjectivated subjects can act politically. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in Taylor and Francis journals. . Language: English
