ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the relationalities of race and education as a technological and biological problem, located in and across multiple spaces. It explores two different types of local, extra- and transterritorial relations. The first are new spaces of globalisation, with a focus on interconnectivity and social media platforms, where race operates digitally without bodies and human agency is supplemented by computational logics. The second is that of molecular biology, where race is located within bodies rather than the exterior. The chapter outlines a computational future of race that occurs through the topological spaces of globalisation. It examines the return of biology in the understanding of race. The chapter investigates how new forms of biosociality, that are also connected to race, are being created as part of the new landscape of molecular biology. It concludes with some brief thoughts on implications of these new spaces and relationalities for research on race and education.
