With a focus on liberal education and the role of criticality, Between Education and Extremisms offers a fresh perspective on the relationships between education and extremisms. The book is underpinned by a belief that extremism is not simply a pedagogical problem which can be addressed by finding new teaching techniques or curricular revisions, or indeed by making top-down changes to education policy. Rather, it signals a critical juncture where the question of extremism cannot be separated from the question about education itself, thus forcing us to reflect upon the direction of education in recent and coming decades.

Beginning with discussion of the complicated and contested nature of extremism, the book then goes on to problematize definitions and assumptions in contemporary discourses on education and extremism. Then, through selected case studies and analysis of extremist discourse, contributors to the volume discuss transnational and glocal perspectives on contemporary extremisms. Taken together, the chapters in the book make a case for a re-engagement with liberal education to foster values of individual and social enrichment, intellectual freedom, criticality, open-mindedness, flexibility and reflection as antidotes to extremist ideologies.

Recognising recent criticisms of liberalism and liberal education, the contributors to this volume argue for a new understanding of liberal education, which is suitable for multicultural societies in a globalising world. As such, the book will be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduates in the areas of religion, citizenship education, liberalism, secularism, counter-terrorism, social policy, Muslim education, youth studies and extremism. It should also be essential reading for teacher educators, teachers and policymakers.
