30.11.2025
Abstract:
The Elgar Encyclopedia of the Sociology of Education examines the prospects of a global and decolonial sociology of education by drawing on international and interdisciplinary cases and perspectives. Entries shed new light on the field’s concerns with equity, justice and opportunity by addressing issues such as the impacts of inequality on urban and rural schooling, the effects of digitalization on the worlds of work and climate change, the allure of nationalism and the regimes imposed by the politicization of migration.
