Description
" Winner - AERA 2011 Outstanding Book Award Jacques Ranciere: Education, Truth, Emancipation demonstrates the importance of Ranciere's work for educational theory, and in turn, it shows just how central Ranciere's educational thought is to his work in political theory and aesthetics. Charles Bingham and Gert Biesta illustrate brilliantly how philosophy can benefit from Ranciere's particular way of thinking about education, and go on to offer their own provocative account of the relationship between education, truth, and emancipation. Including a new essay by Ranciere himself, this book is a must-read for scholars of social theory and all who profess to educate."
Demonstrates the importance of Ranciere's educational thought and how educational theory needs to be informed by his philosophical project.

Reviews
"By showing how the relationship between education and emancipation can be thought of as political, rather than psychological or sociological, Bingham and Biesta put into question many received educational ideas, for example about what 'school improvement' means and what is involved in 'inclusive pedagogy'. The book's argument and experimentations with concepts such as 'police', 'politics' and 'disagreement' vividly portray the relevance of Ranciere's thought for contemporary education practice, policy-making and philosophy." - Caroline Pellatier, Institute of Education, University of London, UK"
