Overview

Written by interdisciplinary authors from the fields of educational policy, early childhood education, history, political philosophy, law, and moral philosophy, this volume addresses the use of disciplinary action across varied educational contexts. Much of the punishment of children occurs in non-criminal contexts, in educational and social settings, and schools are institutions where young people are subject to disciplinary practices and justifications that are quite unlike those found elsewhere. In addition to this, the discipline they receive is often discriminatory, being disproportionately focused on students of colour and other minoritized identities, and unjust in other ways. This timely text is a comprehensive examination of punishment in schools, prompting discussions on racial equity, social justice in education and the school to prison pipeline. Each chapter offers empirically informed, theoretical investigations into punishment in educational settings, including how punishment is understood, whether it is permissible to discipline students, and whether such punishment can be considered educational.

Reviews

Punishment of students is a fact of school life. Should it be? If so, what forms of punishment are justified and under what conditions? In this superb, edited book, Thompson and Tillson bring together noted philosophers and teacher educators for a comprehensive and definitive response to those questions. * Larry Nucci, Adjunct Professor, School of Education, University of California, Berkeley USA * What punishment is and when and how it is justified in education are underexplored topics. This book dives deep into theories and practices of punishment in education, illuminating conceptual complexities as well as intended and unintended impacts of punishment on diverse young people. The book is foundational for understanding punishment in education from analytic and practical views. * Liz Jackson, Professor and Head of the Department of International Education, Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong * There’s a rich literature on the justification of punishment, but its routine use by schools is unquestioned. This rich volume presents a persuasive case for thinking that schools can only fulfil their educational mission if their punishments are justified. Philosophers, educationalists and everyone who cares about children will find it illuminating. * Neil Levy, Professor of Philosophy, Macquarie University, Australia and Senior Research Fellow, Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, United Kingdom * This collection of interdisciplinary literature is an insightful contribution to education fields and provides a valuable resource for educators, families, and communities. * CHOICE *
