Σύντομη περίληψη:

When you consider all the structures that are used to organise schooling – the years that make up the K-12 system; the number of hours of ‘contact time’; the bells of the school day; the minutes allocated for tests, exercises, group work – it may seem that education has everything to do with time. But what could the study of time itself possibly bring to our understanding of education? What is there to say about time? It passes. It goes too quickly, or not quickly enough. So what? Our assumptions about time say a lot about who we are and how we understand the educational enterprise. If you think that time is like an arrow, steadily advancing forward, you might see the educational enterprise as the continuous development of learners towards ever better human beings. But what if you think that time is cyclical, as is the case in many indigenous cultures? What would constitute development? What would ‘better’ even mean? And what if time does not even really exist, which is what theoretical physicists are now telling us? Does that mean we have organised schooling in a completely arbitrary way? Can we even speak of ‘better’ in the absence of a linear sense of before and after? I address decolonization of time in education as a viable political ethics that wagers in the name of future possibles not already governed by extractive politics of colonial progress and oppressive regimes of knowing and doing, and contribute to ongoing debates about the implications of our theoretical choices for enriching educational study and pedagogies.
