Expanding Borderland Theory Across Educational Spaces

Expanding Borderland Theory Across Educational Spaces explores how cultures, identities, disciplines, and ways of knowing intersect and are shaped by sociocultural factors that create spaces containing what is not considered valid or legitimate. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this Handbook examines borderlands as spaces of complexity and dialogue across diverse educational contexts. Through interdisciplinary, decolonial, Indigenous, and ancient wisdom perspectives, contributors challenge conventional approaches to education that create and sustain borderlands. This Handbook offers new ways to think about teaching, learning, research, and human flourishing. The volume invites readers to engage with a plethora of voices on how authors confronted and navigated borderlands to foster more just, inclusive, and regenerative futures in education. An essential resource for researchers, educators, graduate students, policymakers, and educational leaders, this Handbook highlights how society situates borderland environments that produce, negotiate, and contest boundaries of identity, power, and belonging.
