Ali, Tahir; Buergelt, Petra T.; Maypilama, Elaine Lawurrpa; Paton, Douglas; Smith, James A.; Jehan, Noor – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022

Vanden Broeck, Pieter – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
The current inclination, at the European level, to fund education in the form of projects radicalises the modern orientation towards the present as the attempt to bind a yet indeterminate future. This article proposes a close re-reading of Niklas Luhmann's sociological oeuvre in order to problematise the place of the present in modern education.…
