Agency in Constrained Academic Contexts: Explorations of Space in Educational Anthropology examines how social agents construct autonomous spaces in the context of neoliberal education. The contributors to this edited collection consider the ways that educators, students, and families assert agency, claim space, and thereby reshape the constraints imposed by the durability of the academic institutions of which they are a part.

With its original and compelling theorization of space, this volume is on the leading edge of current work in educational anthropology. Agency in Constrained Academic Contexts: Explorations of Space in Educational Anthropology shows how students, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders can draw on their own ‘spatial agency’ to develop and employ specific local tactics to overcome the constraints of educational institutions. With contributions from a stellar lineup of anthropologists of education who examine these processes in a variety of global locations, and written to appeal to a wide audience, this book shows how new theory and research from educational anthropology can point the way to more liberating and humane educational practice and policy.
