Author Information

Getahun Yacob Abraham is Associate Professor of education at the Faculty of Library, Information, Education and IT, at the University of Borås, Sweden. He is involved in research on critical pedagogy, early childhood education, and internationalization. He is interested on educational issues related to higher education, transformative learning, social justice, and education in relation to citizenship and democracy. Dennis Beach is Emeritus Professor of Education at the Faculty of Education Department of Education and Special Education, at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. His main research focus is on the politics and sociology of education and ethnography of higher education policy, with a particular interest in the transformation of Nordic countries from well-developed welfare states with emphatic systems for the delivery of public goods and services, to neoliberal welfare societies. The implications and consequences of this transition in relation to schools and higher education are of particular interest.  Issues of social justice and equity connected to youth and social exclusion, identity, learning and territorial stigmatization in the emergence of post-industrial society form a main strand of research.  Rajendra Chetty is Professor of Language Education at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. His transdisciplinary research leans on postcolonial and social justice ideas on academic activism. He has engaged extensively with the decolonial turn in the humanities. His books include Fatima Meer: Choosing to be defiant; At the edge: the writings of Ronnie Govender; Narrating the new nation; and Transnationalisms and diaspora.  He was Fulbright Visiting Professor at the City University of New York (Graduate Centre) in 2015 and received two prestigious national awards.
