Dear Colleagues and Researchers,

We are pleased to announce a forthcoming special issue of Pedagogical Perspective,

This Special Issue aims to bring together scholars who engage with posthuman, post-anthropocentric, decolonial, feminist, and critical approaches to curriculum and education. It seeks contributions that rethink education beyond human-centered frameworks and explore emerging sociomaterial, ecological, technological, and affective relations shaping contemporary educational landscapes.
