'Understanding educational policy and its subsequent practice within the contexts of gaslighting, moral panics, subversive politics, complicit media, systemic and structural coercion by elected officials and their intended effects on educational policy requires a new paradigm for making sense of the chaos. Grant Rodwell’s Gaslighting School Educational Policy in a Post-Truth World brings it all together by careful comparative analysis, descriptive content and glaring tragic events impacting policy in the US, UK, and Australia. A great read.'Darol Cavanagh, PhD, Associate Professor, Charles Darwin University, UK, Ret.
