This book provides an overview and analysis of current tensions, debates and key issues within OECD nations, particularly Australia, the USA, Canada and the UK, with regard to where education is and should be going. Using a broad historical analysis, it investigates ideas and visions about the future that are increasingly evoked to support arguments about the imminent demise of the dominant modern educational model. Focusing neither on prediction nor prescription, this text suggests the goal is an analysis of the ways in which the notion of the future circulates in contemporary discourse. Five specific discourses are explored: globalisation; new information and communications technologies; feminist; indigenous; and spiritual. The book demonstrates the connections between particular approaches to time, visions of the future, and educational visions and practices. The author asserts that every approach to educational change is inherently based on an underlying image of the future.

This book takes us into the future. Inayatullah and Milojevic explore five emerging issues that have the potential to dramatically impact wellbeing, food systems, climate change, gender equity, the family, and how we learn. They ask: Will the city of the future be preventive, able to provide early indicators of illness and wellbeing? Will the likely transition from meat to cellular agriculture transform the global food supply chain, shifting how we produce food and what we eat? Will women lead the Way and create a partnership society or will their - our - dreams be shattered? Will the family, stable for generations, if not hundreds of years, transform, becoming more diversified and inclusive of social and technological changes? Will learning transform, moving from the factory model to alternative paradigms such as the ecological or the digital? Will we be able to learn anytime, anywhere, from anyone? 
The book answers these questions by exploring the contradictions between emerging futures and tired pasts. Join us on this disruptive journey.

The End of the Cow: And Other Emerging Issues

Inayatullah, Sohail

An investigation into the long-term impact of transgenerational trauma and the possibilities for healing, this book explores the links between personal histories and world events and helps us to understand life’s dualities: violence and peace, self and other, stability and change, slavery and freedom. Author Ivana Milojevic asks How does violence change us? Is it possible to change the inner landscape of one’s thinking in the midst of pain and suffering? and If this is our past, how might our future be different? Oscillating between two voices, Milojevic journeys between the personal (“breathing in”), which describes her experience of violence; while the second academic voice (“breathing out”) tries to make sense of it. The rhythm created by inhaling and exhaling reflects not only what we take from the world but also what we give back to it. Breathing is an inquiry into alternative futures as Milojevic explores a range of possibilities, both for each of us personally, and for the world.
