Education is a crucial influence early on in life and is therefore inextricably linked with power. This book examines how education can limit opportunities and create social inequality as well as being an empowering force for good. Drawing on a range of thinkers such as Arendt, Butler, Foucault, Freire and Gramsci and exploring a number of issues such as gender, coding, policy, surveillance, symbolic violence and researching power, this volume addresses the relationship between power and education and discusses questions on power and knowledge.
