Theme 5: Transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and decolonial futures in teacher education

This theme explores education in societies striving to shake off their colonial legacies and chart a new post-colonial landscape. Papers grapple with a just educational future for historically marginalised groups and link with calls to decolonise education. Papers on this theme also grapple with the many challenges that teachers and learners face in dynamic and fast-changing physical and digital landscapes.
