Brissett, Nigel O. M. – Journal of Environmental Education, 2022
Education has the potential to help address some of the most critical social and environmental issues of the Caribbean. However, I argue that this can only occur if there is a radical critique of the now dominant education for sustainable development (ESD) discourse, which is seemingly constructed primarily from the positionality and interests of…

Jorge Garcia-Arias; Silvina Corbetta; Bruno Baronnet – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2023
Following an argument that the 2030 Agenda consolidates a neoliberal hegemonic 'development' system, we analyze how SDG4 deepens an instrumental and utilitarian 'education for sustainable development'. Alternatively, the Epistemologies of the South are presented as ways of knowing that are capable of accommodating a critical environmental and…

"Education 2030", the new global agenda for educational development, emphasises inclusion and learning outcomes.

This book argues that the international development sector is in crisis which can be mostly sourced to its side-stepping the dominant development question of our age, the neoliberal growth paradigm. It argues that this crisis can be addressed, at least in part, by the sector's re-engagement with the radical development education process that it…
