This book advances the argument that schools are no place for education and reimagines education without the school. The authors describe this as a worrying and frightening place in which we must ‘unthink’ education, recognising it as fragile and contingent on many of our modernist certainties about learning. This unthinking is in itself a means of escape and self-formation. Drawing on ideas from social theory and other social sciences, the book explores starting points and signposts towards a new vision of education. It will be of interest to scholars and graduate students of alternative education, schooling, educational policy and philosophy and the sociology of education.
