Time and Education : Time Pedagogy Against Oppression
Despite pervading all aspects of educational practice and theory, little scholarship focuses on time in education.This book addresses that lacuna questioning our assumptions about time and their ramifications on theories of learning, issues of equity and diversity, and on the purposes of education itself.The authors examine ideas about time in a wide variety of contexts, from ancient Greek fiction to 19th century theories of evolution and from 20th century indigenous stories to 20th century afro-futurist fiction.They show how pervasive the image of ‘time as an arrow’ has become, an image of time that is one-way, singular and teleological.Through exploring other theories of time, the authors propose alternatives for time in education.They argue that time is one of the key biopolitical tools we think and operate with, but rarely address as a historical, cultural and pedagogical category with which schools reproduce oppressive structures around race, class, and gender in society.The book draws on ideas from the arts and the sciences to illustrate and trouble assumptions of time drawing on artistic and theoretic work from Édouard Glissant, Henri Lefebvre, Giordano Nanni, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Bonnie Honig and others.

Oppression and Liberty
The remarkable French thinker Simone Weil is one of the leading intellectual and spiritual figures of the twentieth century.A legendary essayist, political philosopher and member of the French resistance, her literary output belied her tragically short life.Most of her work was published posthumously, to widespread acclaim.Always concerned with the nature of individual freedom, Weil explores in Oppression and Liberty its political and social implications.Analyzing the causes of oppression, its mechanisms and forms, she questions revolutionary responses and presents a prophetic view of a way forward.If, as she noted elsewhere, 'the future is made of the same stuff as the present', then there will always be a need to continue to listen to Simone Weil.

What is oppression?
Oppression is the unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power over a group of people, often leading to their mistreatment, discrimination, and denial of rights. It can take many forms, including systemic discrimination, social inequality, and political repression. Oppression can be based on factors such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or socioeconomic status, and it often results in the marginalization and disenfranchisement of certain groups within society. Oppression can have far-reaching and long-lasting effects on individuals and communities, perpetuating cycles of injustice and inequality.

Is this already oppression?
It is difficult to determine if a situation is already oppression without fully understanding the context and dynamics at play. Oppression typically involves the systematic mistreatment or discrimination of a group of people by those in power. If individuals or groups are being marginalized, discriminated against, or denied basic rights and opportunities, then it could be considered oppression. It is important to examine the power dynamics, impact on individuals, and broader societal structures to determine if a situation constitutes oppression.

What is exploitation and oppression?
Exploitation refers to the act of taking advantage of someone or something for one's own benefit, often at the expense of the exploited party. This can occur in various forms such as economic exploitation, where workers are underpaid or overworked, or environmental exploitation, where natural resources are depleted for profit. Oppression, on the other hand, involves the systematic and pervasive mistreatment of a group of people, often based on their race, gender, or social class. This can manifest in the form of discrimination, marginalization, and denial of rights and opportunities. Both exploitation and oppression are forms of injustice that perpetuate inequality and harm individuals and communities.

What is the worst form of oppression?
The worst form of oppression is the systematic and institutionalized oppression that denies individuals their basic human rights and dignity. This can take the form of discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors, and can result in violence, exploitation, and marginalization. When oppression is deeply ingrained in the structures of society, it can be extremely difficult to overcome and can have long-lasting effects on individuals and communities. This form of oppression perpetuates inequality and injustice, and can have devastating consequences for those who are targeted.

Oppression and Resistance : Structure, Agency, Transformation
Oppression and resistance dialectically envelop everyday life, for both the privileged and the oppressed.The disenfranchised live under regimes in which repression ranges from brutal to institutionally subtle.The privileged socially reproduce their rule through ideology that justifies and policy that institutionalizes subjugation.However, rejecting depression, detachment, and disaffection that emerges from surviving ruling-class regimes, many previously dispirited, instead, choose defiance.They engage in subjectivity struggles by crafting critical consciousness, refusing to be dupes to ideology that represents them as inferior.They undertake social struggles demanding policy that dismantles institutional discrimination and that enhances opportunities for learning and achievement.The exploited, as best as they can in regimes of ruling class and white male supremacy, reconstruct their selves and, it is hoped, transform society.The qualitative studies that comprise this edited collection, present a structure-and-agency perspective, broadly defined, that constitutes the best sociological lens through which to understand oppression and resistance.Contributors interrogate various aspects of oppression and resistance, from the personal to the institutional, exploring situations in which the structure of oppression was insurmountable and illustrating cases in which agency was able to transform either individual or group identity.

Is the headscarf really a symbol of oppression?
The headscarf is not inherently a symbol of oppression. For many women, wearing a headscarf is a personal choice and a form of religious expression. It can also be a symbol of cultural identity and pride. However, in some societies, the headscarf is enforced on women and used as a tool of oppression by limiting their freedom and autonomy. It is important to recognize that the meaning and significance of the headscarf can vary greatly depending on the individual and the context in which it is worn.

Why is there oppression of women in Afghanistan?
The oppression of women in Afghanistan is rooted in a complex web of cultural, religious, and political factors. Traditional gender roles and patriarchal norms have long been entrenched in Afghan society, leading to the marginalization and subjugation of women. The influence of conservative interpretations of Islam, particularly in areas controlled by the Taliban, has also contributed to the restriction of women's rights and freedoms. Additionally, decades of conflict and instability in the country have further exacerbated the challenges faced by Afghan women, limiting their access to education, employment, and participation in public life.

Does feminism rely on the oppression of men?
Feminism does not rely on the oppression of men. In fact, feminism seeks to address and dismantle the systems of oppression that affect both men and women. Feminism aims to challenge traditional gender roles and expectations that can be harmful to men, such as the pressure to conform to rigid notions of masculinity. By advocating for gender equality and dismantling harmful gender stereotypes, feminism ultimately benefits men as well as women.
