Overview
Engaging with the voices of students and educators and the work of Gilles Deleuze and Flix Guattari, Eve Mayes crafts an account of what voice can and must do in education. The book works with the textures, tremors and murmurs of voice felt over ten years of ethnographic and participatory research in Australian schools from research encounters with students and puppets, to school governance council meetings, to school reform evaluation processes, to students' political activism. It offers a timely critique of the liberal humanist and late capitalist logics of student voice in educational reform, entwined with an affirmation of other possibilities for transversal pedagogical relations in and beyond institutional sites of education.

Reviews
"""The Politics of Voice in Education is a vibrant and vital engagement with what else student voice can do in ethical-political, participatory research. Each chapter critically explores how the affective force-field of voice can come to matter in and beyond formal schooling, from the perplexities of student activisms to new ontologies of attunement in how schools listen to young people."" -EJ Renold, Cardiff University"
