Learning from Asia: an APER collective response to the special issue on “Asia as Method”

Abstract

This collective response paper concludes the Special Issue on “Revisiting ‘Asia as Method’ in Education Research: Toward Ontologies and Epistemologies of Difference.” The paper provides reflections, constructive critiques, and key learnings from individual papers and the Special Issue as a whole. A key feature of the paper is the dialogue and inter-referencing it fosters among and between the discussants, authors, and academic journals. As decolonization in education is an ongoing struggle, this paper is a call to continue the work for ontological and epistemic justice in/through higher education.
