Comparative and Decolonial Studies in Philosophy of Education


It is a pleasure to announce that the complete manuscript of our latest book has been sent to Springer press: Comparative and Decolonial Studies in Philosophy of Education (for publication in 2023). This book was primarily the outcome of a PhD course I have offered since 2020 on Non-Western Educational Philosophy and Policy. It was a great experience to work closely with several fine scholars in development of this unique volume, which will be my tenth book as author or editor, finished as I am nearly reaching age 50. About half of the contributors to this book specialize in music, but we wanted to write something for educators of all kinds, which required considerable time and effort. 


Koji Matsunobu wrote a fascinating Foreword for the book, and we are also very pleased to include a brilliant Afterword by African philosopher Yusef Waghid. It normally takes time for a press to process manuscripts but hopefully this will be published by early winter. Below is the Table of Contents.
