Jan McArthur, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Educational Research at Lancaster University, joins us to discuss her recent article, “Critical Theory in a Decolonial Age,” in Educational Philosophy and Theory, which is also available on PESA Agora. Informed by critical theory and particularly Adorno, Jan’s work examines education, social justice, assessment, and higher education.
