This book unpacks key concepts and methods relevant for a critical and reflective framing of futures in postdigital education. The compiled chapters explore concepts and methods that have pertinence for contemporary debates about the emergence of data-driven education and scrutinize implicit or explicit ethical and normative implications. The book provides in-depth critical reflections and perspectives to engage and analyze data-driven education as an educational and cultural phenomenon. It focuses on the value-laden and ethical aspects reflected in educational imaginaries (discourses and practices) regarding emerging data-driven sociotechnical practices in education. The book is the result of scholarly exchanges between disciplines at a symposium held at VIA University College in Denmark in May 2022.

Hvad er magt, og hvor findes magt i organisationer? Det er ontologiske og epistemologiske spørgsmål, som enhver teori om organisationer og social organisering må forholde sig til. Nyere praksisteorier er netop teorier til forståelse af social organisering, men de bliver ofte beskyldt for ikke at have en klar forståelse af magt, og at de fokusere på relativt trivielle mikro-processer (som fx madlavningspraksisser, cyklismepraksisser, osv.) i forståelsen af social forandring (fx Geels 2002). Men kan nyere praksisteorier også fange de ’store’ dynamikker, der former organisationers udvikling? Og hvordan kan de forstå magt og magtesløshed i organisationer? I dette kapitel vil jeg diskutere disse spørgsmål og forsøge at præcisere et magtbegreb i nyere praksisteorier.
