Gaslighting School Educational Policy in a Post-Truth World cover

Focusing on current educational systems in the US, UK, and Australia, Grant Rodwell examines the politics of gaslighting within school educational policy and how this links to political motives in a post-truth world.

In recent years, gaslighting has become a major global issue due to various personal, social and political factors. Using sustained comparative description and analysis, Rodwell provides up-to-date research on how gaslighting impacts school educational policy. As gaslighting is a complex term, the book gives a framework of how to comprehend it relative to school educational topics and issues.

This book will be a foundational resource for tertiary institutions, educational policy students and researchers, politicians and parents concerned with gaslighting policies and practices.

Understanding educational policy and its subsequent practice within the contexts of gaslighting, moral panics, subversive politics, complicit media, systemic and structural coercion by elected officials and their intended effects on educational policy requires a new paradigm for making sense of the chaos. Grant Rodwell’s Gaslighting School Educational Policy in a Post-Truth World brings it all together by careful comparative analysis, descriptive content and glaring tragic events impacting policy in the US, UK, and Australia. A great read.
