Biography

Emile Bojesen is Reader in Education at the University of Winchester, UK.



"The book challenges and invites the reader to explore alternative modes of thought and forms of education that do not lead to certain and stable conceptions of the subject. As a result, it is down to us to choose how to respond to his invitation to join or start a conversation about how education might be conceived differently in our own practice and research."

Sharon Smith, University of Birmingham, cited in: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00071005.2020.1785788 

"Forms of Education is a work of philosophy of education with the kind of energy and emotion often absent in writing on education... Overall, the text, while dense in places, is a compelling read that jars with established educational thought. Its style has a pace and energy to it, not always a feature of philosophy of education literature."

Lewis Stockwell, University of Hertfordshire, cited in: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2020.1772010 and https://www.philosophy-of-education.org/book-reviews/book-review-forms-of-education/
