ABSTRACT
In the current political moment, while multiple global crises are resulting in increased suffering, poverty, violence, and environmental degradation, in the Western world, hallmarks of fascism are also appearing. Strongmen leaders are running (and winning) on ethno-nationalist platforms, journalism and media organizations are being attacked, people of diverse ethnicities/religions are being scapegoated, and hard-won human rights are being overturned. Underlying this movement is fear of difference, individualism, reductionist either-or thinking, and the myth of White, European, male supremacy. As educators and educational researchers, we need to think, research, and teach with theories that disrupt these deeply entrenched ways of thinking and, in doing so, reframe schools and other educational spaces of becoming-otherwise.
