ABSTRACT

This chapter briefly describes the dynamics of transformation of the space-times of education and the limits of the current explanations of the changes. It reflects on the effects of moving sociology of education beyond itself. One of the effects of the interaction between science and technology studies (STS) and education studies is the infusion of a posthuman view. The sociological view tends to depict interactions with the assumption that the "social" is defined regarding human-to-human relationships. A second effect of the interaction between STS and education studies is the enrichment of the sociological imagination of space and the solution it offers to the challenge of methodological territorialism. The chapter explores a promising area of research: the interaction between education studies and STS, paving the way to the socio-material turn in education, and reflected on what effects this interference could have in the case of the sociology of education.
