Robertson, University of Manchester, UK; Fellow Wolfson College, University of CambridgeChair: Dr Lindsey Horner, Lecturer in Education in International Development, University of EdinburghAbout this eventDuring periods of rupture, major crises, and social transformations, speculations around how best to understand the present, and what kind of future might we imagine and materialise, come to the fore? What role does and should education play in this, and who gets to have a say? In this keynote I engage with, and explore, three main questions which I argue are central to reimagining education futures: First, what are the problems facing education systems around the globe that need resolving (diagnosis)? Second, which futures are being imagined by whom? (prognosis), and third, what frameworks might we use to evaluate the desirability or not of these proposals (ethics/reflexivity)? I conclude, drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt, to argue that educators have a special responsibility in this task.About the speakerSusan is Professor of Sociology of Education, now currently attached to the University of Manchester, UK. Prior to that she held a substantive position as Professor of Sociology at the University of Cambridge, and was Head of Faculty.
