In doing so, the book explores the ideals and practices of political correctness, Critical Race Theory (CRT), Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and intersectionality. Further, it demonstrates the ability of 'woke' to mobilize and raise awareness around social issues, challenging existing power structures and demanding change. Investigating these as a contemporary embodiment of early 20th-century progressivism, the author argues that 'woke' is best understood through its association with moral panic, risk society mentality, post-truth, cancel culture, and the rise of it in social media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exemplary volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers and academics in the field of education policy and politics, sociology of education, cultural studies, and race theory. Those involved in tertiary training of teachers and curriculum developers may also benefit from it more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Rodwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041131933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041131939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Grant Rodwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47612008464639,"sku":"9781041131939","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae640eb3-4c1e-4cdf-a02f-51ff7ee20578.jpg?v=1764517565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-woke-in-educational-policy-grant-rodwell-9781041131939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
