The Politics of Voice in Education: Reforming Schools After Deleuze and Guattari (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781474451215)

Engaging with the voices of students and educators and the work of Gilles Deleuze and F?lix Guattari, Eve Mayes crafts an account of what voice can and must do in education. The book works with the textures, tremors and murmurs of voice felt over ten years of ethnographic and participatory research in Australian schools - from research encounters with students and puppets, to school governance council meetings, to school reform evaluation processes, to students' political activism. It offers a timely critique of the liberal humanist and late capitalist logics of student voice in educational reform, entwined with an affirmation of other possibilities for transversal pedagogical relations in and beyond institutional sites of education.
