In Education in Radical Uncertainty, Stephen Carney and Ulla Ambrosius Madsen draw upon the long tradition for recalcitrant thought in Western humanist scholarship in order to rethink education and educational research at a time of intense social transformation. By revisiting a range of post-foundational ideas and developing their own methodological experiment, they reimagine the possibilities for the comparative study of education. The Book explores the experiences of young people in Denmark, South Korea and Zambia, illustrating how these very different contexts are increasingly connected by common narratives of purpose, as well as overheated promises of success. The authors focus on the writings of Jean Baudrillard, placing them in the context of works by other theorists of modernity, to explore processes of simulation and disappearance that are shaping life worldwide. The text is literary in style and deliberately fragmented in order to reflect something of the unknowability of schooled experience and the incompleteness of research practice. In the process, the authors paint a rich portrait of education and schooling as a site of joy, hope, pain and ambivalence. Encompassing both theoretical and methodological innovation, Education in Radical Uncertainty provides inspiration for scholars and students attempting to approach the fields of comparative education, education policy and youth studies anew.
