Learning Futures

Keri Facer's 'Learning Futures' examines the intersections of education, technology, and social change, arguing that dominant technological imaginaries shape schooling and future orientations.

The book critiques technocratic visions of education that prepare students primarily for employment and offers frameworks for imagining alternative futures oriented around well-being and social values.

Drawing on case studies and theoretical work, Facer explores how educators and communities can cultivate different imaginaries and practices to broaden possibilities.

She emphasises plural, participatory approaches to futures thinking in education that attend to histories, presents, and diverse temporalities.

The book has been influential in debates about educational futures, policy, and the role of technology in learning.
