Why Jacques Rancière and Critical Pedagogy?
While the importance of the work of French social theorist Jacques Rancière is increasingly
acknowledged, his contributions to the fields of Education and Critical Pedagogy are still largely
unknown in the English-speaking world. The purpose of this event is to explore the significance of
Rancière’s critique of traditional pedagogy and his ideas about the centrality of ‘equality’ in education.
This conference seeks both to examine the social and political context in which Rancière carried out
his work on pedagogy, as well as its relevance and application within the contemporary ‘neoliberal’ university.
