Jan McArthur is Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University, UK. Her research spans two themes: education and social justice, and the nature of higher education. She explores different interpretations of critical pedagogy, in particular ways that conceptualisations of knowledge impact upon social justice. Particular interests are critical theory and Theodor Adorno’s work. Her 2018 book Assessment for Social Justice:Perspectives and Practices within Higher Education draws on the critical theory of Axel Honneth. Jan is Australian who engaged with Indigenous issues since school years. She lives in Scotland but works in England.
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This version of PESA Agora has been archived.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.
