Benjamin Doxtdator is a Canadian-born educator now working in Belgium. Through his "A Long View on Education", as well as his presence on Twitter, Benjamin pushes us to look critically at our work in education, asking questions that many of us aren't used to asking. In this conversation, Benjamin helps me unpack neo-liberalism and neo-conservatism, especially as it applies to education. We also explore predominant narratives in teaching, learning and schooling, evidence-based practice and the rise of the Edustar in the education space.
In Episode 49, making our schools' sites of liberation and resistance. Plus challenging the dominant narratives that blame individual students whilst giving scant attention to the social justice, and structural issues impacting on them.

In Episode 34 nehmen wir einen Post von Anja Wagner undAngelica Laurencon zum Anlass uns ein wenig Frust von der Seele zu reden bevor wir zu Beiträgen von Benjamin Doxtdator und Mike Caulfield kommen. Es gibt einen kurzen Ton-Aussetzer bei etwa 17.45-18:15 – es liegt nicht an Dir, sondern an uns.
