- This short monograph incorporates theoretical perspectives that are rarely brought together from social theory, sociology of education and the sociology of existential threat. The work on the sociology of existential threat arises from research conducted as part of Preston's continuing role as ESRC Leadership Fellow for the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research. In the book, the history and practice of Competence Based Education and Training (CBET) is counterposed with humanistic theoretical models of learning. The book additionally questions mainstream understandings of existential threat, demonstrating how this concept can be applied to classify certain pedagogies as forms of extinction.
