- This monograph provides an original and timely critique of schooling through the lens of understanding age as an aspect of social identity. The core argument of the book is that age serves as a central organising concept for the modern project and is essential to the organisation of the modern nation-state; and, in turn, that schooling serves as the engine for reproducing linear notions of how age works to organise society and meaning-making in everyday life. The argument is wide-ranging and is innovative in providing a new theoretical framework - age imaginaries - through which to explore the above issues.
