Description:
Higher Education Hauntologies considers how higher education might benefit from thinking about Derrida's notion of hauntology and its implications for a justice-to-come.
Review Quotes:
"This stirring collection of essays is uncannily brilliant at bringing all manner of specters into the light. Entangled with more-than-human histories, matter, and atmospheres, these authors reveal the ways that higher education can hold us accountable for the ongoing unfolding of futures less ghastly than our present and its pasts."
Dr. Gregory J. Seigworth, editor of Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry and co-editor of the Affect Theory Reader (2010, Duke University Press)
"Higher Education Hauntologies is a very timely volume, forcefully posing very urgent questions about new pedagogies for justice-to-come. How to meet the spectres of social inequalities, injustice, violence, colonial appropriation which haunt higher education worldwide? The contributors' shared inspiration from new materialism and posthumanist thought, and their diverse geopolitical locations make the book a uniquely new and very refreshing contribution to the discussion about much needed transformations of higher education."
