Hannah Tavares

Associate Professor Hannah Tavares has two new groundbreaking publications in a book series titled Flashpoint Epistemology from Routledge Education Books. She is a co-editor with three other scholars from China, Finland, and the U.S. The two volumes consider flashpoints – moments of apparent intractability generated within cross-philosophical clashes, connections, contacts, and negotiations – as urgent sites of study and for rethinking educational futures. The series is dedicated to analyzing flashpoints within educational settings that are mediated by or involve technological inventions.

Flashpoint Epistemology Volume 2: Aporias of Complexity in Power, Politics and Methods in Education
This volume brings creative sociopolitical research perspectives to flashpoints which emerge amid appeals to globalisation, synoptic policy approaches, and new technologies. The chapters challenge prevailing notions of distance and difference, comparative philosophy, worlding practices, and contact zones.
