Call for Book Proposals: Contemporary Perspectives in Philosophy and Technology

Introduction

Contemporary Perspectives in Philosophy and Technology is a forward-looking book series that examines the profound and often complex interplay among philosophical inquiry, technologies, and educational research. The series invites original monographs and edited collections that ask how technological change reconfigures educational aims, curriculum studies, public pedagogies, ethical responsibilities, literacies, teacher education, citizenship, and the futures of human and more-than-human life.

Each book should take up critical questions and emerging issues at the intersection of philosophy, technology, and education. We welcome manuscripts that move beyond narrow instrumental accounts of technology to examine how technological systems shape, and are shaped by, social relations, histories, institutions, policies, ecological conditions, and forms of knowledge production. The series is especially interested in work that offers conceptual depth, methodological creativity, and public relevance.

Possible books may address curriculum studies, settler colonial studies, teacher education, educational philosophy, posthumanism, decolonizing artificial intelligences, digital ethics, digital literacies, media and information ecologies, science education, citizenship education, technological studies, datafication, platform governance, data sovereignty, automation, surveillance, ecological crisis, and the societal implications, possibilities, and dangers of technological progress. Contributions may draw from diverse philosophical traditions, interdisciplinary research, community-engaged scholarship, critical theories, Indigenous studies, feminist and anti-racist scholarship, science and technology studies, and humanities-informed approaches to education.

By bringing together leading curriculum studies scholars, educational philosophers, researchers, and interdisciplinary thinkers, the series offers a comprehensive and future-oriented analysis of contemporary technological challenges and their implications for public education. Designed for scholars, graduate students, educators, policymakers, and intellectually curious readers, the series aims to foster deep reflection and informed debate about the future of education and humanity in an increasingly technological world.
