Slow wonder bears witness to the possibilities of the imagination. In a
series of letters the authors playfully imagine alternatives to current
orthodoxies that privilege technocratic approaches to education that
have strangled discussion about what it might mean to make education
good and right, or even beautiful. The authors position the imagination
as a powerful site of resistance within education and academic life.
They unpack their philosophical positionings through vignettes of their
teaching practice, poetry written as reflective musings and discursive
theoretical pieces, including letters they have written to others. They
attempt to marry the poetic and the academic, the rational and the
affective, to model a slow approach to wondering about the joy, beauty
and possibilities of life. In this spirit, they contemplate new ways to
think and live in education.
