In this episode, we converse with Dr. Jordi Collet-Sabé, who is an associate professor in education at the University of Vic in Spain and a visiting professor at IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Social Sciences. Dr Collet-Sabé speaks to us in this episode of some of his latest publications, including papers co-authored with Stephen Ball, which offer thought-provoking critiques of schools as social institutions, and raises questions as to how we can transform education. Specifically, his work proposes that, following Foucault, we think of education as an ethical and political activity, and that we take a “commoning approach” to education, seeing it as self-formation.
