Shivali Tukdeo’s book, India Goes to School: Education Policy and Cultural Politics (2019) pays attention to the production and circulation of educational policy ideas in India as it investigates the shifts in overall educational goals. Tracing the policy positions from 19th century, my work looks at politics as well as governing of educational ideas, revisiting some of the long-standing debates on educational reforms, nationalism, social justice and development.
Prof. Tukdeo has also spent considerable time researching Ashram schools (residential schools) in Maharashtra. As institutions, Ashram schools go back to early twentieth century and connect with alternative traditions of education. After independence as mass education became a priority, Ashram schools became important spaces for access and social mobility for the disadvantaged populations.
Her more recent work is part of an international, inter-institutional research collaboration focusing on education and urban processes. As part of this collaboration, a series of working papers have been published and an edited book is forthcoming. https://perspectivia.net/receive/pnet_mods_00001041
