P. Taylor Webb, is Associate Professor of Education, Dept of Educational Studies, University of British Columbia, Canada. He uses several Continental theorists to examine formations of power and force in education, often manifest through ideas of policy. He is concerned with how education rationalizes and produces ‘governable subjects’ within liberal and neoliberal normative architectures, and his research has been identified as a significant reason for the development of educational policy studies and governance over the past decade. His book Teacher Assemblage (2009, Brill) won the 2009 American Educational Studies Association in 2009 (AESA) Critics’ Choice Book Award, and the Outstanding Book Award from the Qualitative Research SIG of the American Educational Research Association in 2010 (AERA).
Welcome to the PESA Agora Archive
This version of PESA Agora has been archived. The material is still accessible, and searchable, via the new and more expansive PESA Agora that is accessible via the PESA Homepage.
The new version of PESA Agora maintains the philosophy of the original version as an open access meeting place for people interested in the intersections of education, philosophy, teaching, learning, technology, indigenous philosophies, identity issues, and the environment.
The new version of PESA Agora offers PESA members a “Discussion Board” to encourage interaction in relation to member posts.
