Routledge Assemblages of Violence in Education - Routledge

Assemblages of Violence in Education explores how violence permeates everyday experiences in educational settings and beyond. This Routledge publication integrates new materialisms, anthropology, curriculum theory, and educational foundations to examine normalized aggressions often overlooked in academic discourse. The book weaves together participant narratives from two contrasting contexts: queer middle school youth of color in urban environments and Indian women who have survived domestic violence. Through these interconnected stories, the work conceptualizes how social justice functions in direct opposition to systemic and interpersonal violence. By connecting these disparate experiences across geographical and cultural boundaries, the book reveals the complex ways violence operates within institutional structures and everyday interactions. Essential reading for educators, researchers, and advocates working to understand and counter violence in educational contexts and society.
