Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gert Biesta, an influential scholar in the field of education, has highlighted once again that education “always entails a risk” (e.g., Biesta, 1999, p. 212; 2013, p. x; 2020, p. 102). However, the available literature linking both issues is not commensurate, with such pervasiveness of risk in education and, hence, schools. Rather, there is a paucity of studies directly focused on the link between risk and education. Research on this topic is likely to enlarge our understandings of risk and education.
This Special Issue aims to build on the insights gained from previous studies, to extend this knowledge and to explore new avenues of research. With the view to cover a wide range of relevant topics, we specifically seek contributions that address connections between risk and education (and schools). We also seek contributions focused on risks specifically associated with education and schools. Reviews and conceptual as well as empirical contributions are welcome.
