Abstract

This special issue contributes to scholarship on critical geographies of education (Kraftl, 2013a) along with research that has emerged as a result of the spatial turn in educational studies (Gulson & Symes, 2007; Helfenbein & Taylor, 2009). Such research had proceeded through a variety of subdisciplinary lenses in human geography, including political, urban, social, and cultural geographies (see Holloway et al., 2010; Kraftl, 2014). Moreover, scholarship outside geography has increasingly adopted, refined, and retheorised geographical tropes in respect of diverse education spaces (Brooks et al., 2012; Gulson & Symes, 2007). Collectively, this work seeks to map the recursive production of education, space, and society as a form of boundary crossing in the sense described by Massey (1999, p.5) for whom ‘some of the most stimulating intellectual developments of recent years have come either from new, hybrid places or from places where boundaries between disciplines have been constructively breached and new conversations have taken place’.
