The Routledge Series Decolonial Entanglements: Praxis, Pedagogy, and Social Theory is a publishing home for books that feature the work of scholars who, on the one hand, advance theory that unsettles disciplinary boundaries, and, on the other, take a praxis-oriented mode of examining education, curriculum, and pedagogy alongside sites of struggle.

This series advances the latest scholarship that builds upon decolonial thought and praxis with an acute transdisciplinary and pedagogical focus within and beyond formal educational institutions. Invited topics include—but are not limited to—decolonial thought in educational studies, curriculum theory, liberatory ethnic studies education, abolitionist thought, philosophy of education, and studies of racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and social movement pedagogies.

Publishing both single/co-authored and edited volumes from established and early-career scholars alike, the series amplifies decolonial discourses and practices emerging from regions often left out of the conversation in dominant academic spaces. The editors seek to broaden the understanding of decolonial thought while pointing to entangled, heterogeneous, relational, and planetary interpretations of colonial structures and histories. Moreover, the series highlights the theories and praxes emerging from distinct yet historically connected regions and communities. It will include transdisciplinary contributions that advance genealogical, theoretical, methodological, and empirical studies that make explicit the geopolitical, economic, social, and cultural intimacies across geographical boundaries.

Topics may include (but are not limited to):

○ Decolonial thought in curriculum theory and philosophy of education.

○ Entangled struggles from the “Americas” to Palestine, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.
