Rezensionen

"Graham Slater's book reveals a welcome new horizon for critical studies of education. It charts innovative paths and exposes new possibilities for educational theorists to seriously engage with the fictional worlds of a future imagination. Horizons of the Future is a must-read for anyone seeking future potential in the connections between science fiction and education."

Abraham P. DeLeon, Professor of Social Foundations, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA

"Graham Slater has written a vital book that refuses the cynicism and fatalism that haunts contemporary education, culture, and politics. It is a sophisticated yet accessible text that wields science fiction as a pedagogical compass in these dark times. It is a must-read for educators, artists, and activists committed to reconstructing a common world."

Alexander J. Means, Chair & Associate Professor of Educational Foundations, University of Hawai i at Manoa, USA
