'Deleuze and Education returns us to a belief in learning’s connection with the world, in all its complexity and joy. With both pragmatism and philosophical rigour, it details an adventurous understanding of what education could become, set free from much of the paraphernalia of educational bureaucracy. This is Deleuze’s philosophy put to work in the best possible way.'Andrew Murphie, University of New South Wales, AustraliaAddresses the broad territory of educational theory and philosophy of education as a new context for Deleuze’s philosophyThe 12 original essays in this volume look at contemporary debates on the conceptualisation of teaching and learning; semiotics and uncanny experiences; times and spaces; logic and mathematics; art and science education; subjectivity, creativity, and values; actual and virtual pedagogies.Encompassing both formal and post-formal modes of education, the contributions focus on education as an experimental and experiential process of becoming, grounded in life and representing the very becoming-other of Deleuze's original philosophical thought. It will inspire readers to not only think differently about Deleuze's intellectual legacy in the specific context of educational theory, but also to make a difference at the level of socio-cultural practices, among which education is the most important.Inna Semetsky is Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Global Studies in Education, University of Waikato, New Zealand.Diana Masny is Emerita Professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada, Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology Australia and founding member of the Multiple Literacies Research Unit, University of Ottawa.
