Alice Bradbury discusses how the meritocracy myth reinforces educational inequalities and analyses how the recent educational developments of datafication and neuroscience might challenge how we classify and label children as we rebuild a post-pandemic schooling system.

Trade Review
"Though the author speaks about the English school system, this book is a valuable addition to feminist pedagogy anywhere. It expands upon a framework for critiquing the educational “normal” and encourages us to question how education works, including its oppressiveness." Feminist Pedagogy
