This dissertation explores how Bridge International Academies in Kenya and other transnational school reforms are "haunted" by colonial residues of who and what are seen and acted on as the "problems" of individual and social development to be resolved. The study's historicizing method identifies, describes, and relates the practices and theories (i.e., the "reason" of schooling) as generating the differences in human kinds that compare and make people administrable to schooling. The dissertation's key historical comparison juxtaposes the practices of a present-day school reform in Kenya--Bridge International Academies--with the Jeanes School, Kabete of early 20th century Kenya Colony. The comparison focuses attention on historical continuities in the principles, practices, and concepts in making the child who is to transform intolerable social conditions in "their" communities. The comparison of past and present makes visible how difference, exclusion, and abjection are generated as particular populations who are made the targets of educational expertise in order to instill qualities they are assumed to lack. The dissertation offers several contributions to the study of education. First, it makes visible the historical qualities of commonsense notions of ontological hierarchies, developmental narratives, and humanitarian warrants to intervene as the political of schooling. Second, its historicizing approach offers a method for studying what is being said and made sensible in school reforms without attempting to reinscribe "proper" identities or redefine the human anew. Finally, the study offers an alternative methodology to comparative and international studies of schooling--not as qualitative and quantitative analyses of policies or programs, but as a scrutiny of the practices that travel and compose shifting notions of "the reason" of schooling itself. In so doing, the study makes it possible to contest the authority of existing systems of reason and consider alternatives other than those already present

There is an alluring desire that research should lead us to find the practical knowledge that enables people to live a good life in a just and equitable society. This desire haunted the 19th century emergence of the social sciences as a discipline, then became more pronounced in the postwar mobilizations of research. Today that desire lives on in the international assessments of national schools and in the structure of professional education, both of which influence government modernization of schools and also provide for people’s well-being. American policy thus reflects research in which reforms are verified by “scientific, empirical evidences” about “what works” in experiments, and “will work” therefore in society. The book explores the idea that practical and useful knowledge changes over time, and shows how this knowledge has been (re)visioned in contemporary research on educational reform, instructional improvement, and professionalization. The study of science draws on a range of social and cultural theories and historical studies to understand the politics of science, as well as scientific knowledge that is concerned with social and educational change. Research hopes to change social conditions to create a better life, and to shape people whose conduct embodies these valued characteristics—the good citizen, parent, or worker. Yet this hope continually articulates the dangers that threaten this future. Thomas Popkewitz explores how the research to correct social wrongs is paradoxically entangled with the inscription of differences that ultimately hamper the efforts to include.

Space is never a neutral ‘stage’ on which social actors play their roles, sometimes cooperating with each other, sometimes struggling against each other. Space has multiple and complex functions in the development of social relations, it is a reference for identity-building, a material condition for existence, and an instrument of power. This book explores the ways in which space has been used for resistance, especially in left-libertarian contexts. From the early anarchist organizing efforts in the 19th century to the contemporary social movements of the Mexican Zapatistas, the chapters examine a range of cases to illustrate both the limits and potentialities of utilizing space within anarchist practice. By theorizing the production of anarchist spaces, the book aims to foster new geographical imaginations that energetically cultivate alternative practices to challenge the status quo. It shows that spatial re-organization, spatial practices and spatial resources are also a basic condition for human emancipation, autonomy and freedom.

La ciencia social actual muestra un deseo impulsivo, persistente y angustioso de encontrar conocimientos prácticos que propicien un buen vivir en una sociedad justa y equitativa. Es un empeño que persiguió a la emergencia de las ciencias sociales en el siglo XIX, se agudizó en los movimientos investigadores de posguerra, y hoy está representado por las evaluaciones internacionales de los sistemas educativos y la formación profesional que marcan a los gobiernos el camino para modernizar la educación y facilitar una vida buena a las personas. Así lo expresa la relación entre la política y la investigación estadounidenses, donde las reformas se verifican con "pruebas empíricas científicas" sobre "lo que funciona". El libro analiza la idea de conocimiento práctico y útil que históricamente ha ido cambiando con el tiempo, y su (re)visión en la investigación actual dedicada a la reforma educativa, la mejora de la instrucción, y la profesionalización. El estudio de la ciencia parte de diversas teorías sociales y culturales y de estudios históricos para comprender la política científica y el conocimiento científicos al servicio del cambio social y educativo. Se espera de la investigación que pueda fomentar las condiciones sociales que propician una vida mejor y la formación de personas cuya conducta encarne las cualidades y características de esa "vida mejor": el buen ciudadano, padre y madre o trabajador/a. Sin embargo, es una esperanza que siempre explicita las amenazas y a las poblaciones peligrosas que ponen en riesgo el futuro imaginado. Thomas Popkewitz analiza cómo la investigación destinada a corregir los males sociales paradójicamente está implicada en la inscripción de diferencias que, en los esfuerzos por incluir, provoca exclusión y abyección.

The ideals and thinking of Tan Chin Tuan were instrumental in the successful transformation of the traditional family bank into a modern economic institution. This is the lasting legacy bequeathed by the merchant banker, business leader, institutional builder and public figure. In writing this book, the authors conducted numerous exclusive interviews with Tan and had exclusive access to his private papers, and to many documents and materials hitherto unavailable to researchers. This volume adds immensely to the limited literature on the history of local banks in Singapore."--BOOK JACKET.

This volume recounts Southeast Asian history for the last half millennium (1511-2014). It begins by tracing the path of Western colonialism as it gradually infects the entire region. The work continues by narrating each country's route to independence from foreign domination. It finishes up by comparing Southeast Asia's global metrics with the other nations in the world. Cultures, countries and companies speak for themselves in this tale. As such, the work could be characterized as historical fiction.
