The lecture series will be recorded and uploaded onto a designated webp age and contribute to an open source bank of materials and resources on th e Political Economy of Education that will be produced by the PEER Network team during the lifespan of the project.\nThe Political Economy of Educat ion in Times of Conflict\, Crises and Pandemics\nWhilst the current COVID1 9 pandemic has brought home to many citizens in the Global North the fragi lity of their existence\, their education systems lack of resilience\, and exacerbated and revealed widespread learning inequalities\; in the Global South this is but one more crisis in a long list that have punctuated dai ly lives and educational journeys. This lecture series seeks to challenge its speakers and participants to go beyond narrow understandings of educat ion and its relationship to economy and society and to critically explore the complex ways that education systems are linked to war\, peace\, ecolog ical crises\, financial crises and pandemics – not merely as victims but also as drivers and catalysts. In doing so we seek to highlight that educ ation systems and actors have agency\, capable of producing conflict ridde n and crises prone systems as well as succumbing to these factors\, and th at policy and practice matters in the pursuit of more socially just and eq uitable educational systems that can contribute to a fairer and better wor ld. We also seek to highlight how education systems are affected by partic ular crises and what policy options they might have to redress this.\nIn t hat sense the series also seeks to recognise that education policy and pra ctice is about power and its projection into the education system by compe ting social forces. For that reason we seek to draw upon a wide range of c ontexts and examples to highlight these contestations and their effects on issues of education and social justice/injustice in times of conflict and crises.\nCalendar of Events\n\n Thursday 8th October\, 1-2.15pm (BST).
