Article abstract Appeals to transformative education are so ubiquitous that if an educational advertisement claimed to only offer instruction, consumers might worry they were being shortchanged. However, the meaning of transformative education is often superficially understood, shifting between various conceptions, each bearing distinct ethical complications. The result is an educational concept that provides unreliable guidance to educators – that is, those charged with transforming the lives of students. This article contends that Douglas Yacek’s recent book The Transformative Classroom offers a compelling and ethically defensible theory of transformative education-as-aspiration. However, Yacek’s account does not adequately define the sociality of the transformative classroom and risks reducing a diverse group of students to a paradigm of individual transformation. I seek to strengthen Yacek’s account by examining the kind of recognition that ought to occur between students who are diverse in

In the pages to follow, I propose a meditation on the concept of study, its place in our contemporary scene, and its relation to the classical notion of leisure. In general terms, we can define leisure as an extreme disposition or state in which our relation to the world remains indeterminate in some way. In this sense, leisure favours a radical experience of the open and ungraspable characteristics of the human world. This is a nearly intolerable state. Reactions against it tend toward work, diversion, entertainment, or consumption. The hypothesis that I wish to explore in this essay, then, is the idea that study consists, in a singular and properly school-related manner, in inhabiting leisure, a condition which today deserves to be cultivated and protected. This idea of study is a way of being and dwelling in which the existence of a common world is in play and at stake.

Philosophical discussions about leisure time often take place on an abstract level. But leisure time does not exist a priori to lived experience in concreate situations. Its existence, or the lack thereof, is often predicated on the material conditions of daily life. In this article the very real conditions of indebted life are the starting point for theoretical considerations on leisure time and education, and how education may or may not be an experience of leisure. Philosophers of education often leap to the emancipatory potential of conceptualizing education as a form of free time, before, or without, addressing the negations that stand in the way of this ideal becoming a reality. Conceptualizing education experience or schools as sites of leisure within the debt economy without first taking into consideration the ways in which debt negates leisure time leads to the production of education theories that only materialize into education realities on rare occasions. Thus, a central claim here is that education philosophers and practitioners must acknowledge the ways in which educational experiences are themselves conditioned, though not overdetermined, by the contemporary “debt economy.” Building on, with adaptations, theories of scholé, I aim to show the reader that despite the ways in which educational experience is shaped by debt, educational experience can suspend debt’s temporal force, providing momentary but much needed temporal respite from indebted life.
