Setting in train various forms of curriculum and pedagogic change in schools whilst seeking to improve both teaching strategies and Aboriginal educational outcomes in Australia is a complex business. This involves a sustained effort to equip the next generation of educators with the skills and knowledges to identify, diagnose, and devise remedies for the ‘problems’ that are sometimes ascribed to Aboriginal learners. The work of Paolo Freire is a point of reference here. However, the halo around Freire and his work may occlude thinking about how to evoke his concepts, (specifically conscientisation) in the contemporary Australian context. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Freire’s work in this light. We also discuss the Culturally Nourishing Schooling (CNS) project, a whole school reform model where teachers are encouraged to shift their reflective gaze onto themselves and on the settings in which they work. We argue that for ‘success’ in education to no longer be defined by deficit thinking, firstly, conscientisation must be a collective process. To change teachers and their practice and schooling requires a different conception of both change and of conscientisation.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the affective and situated aspects of enacting public schooling within a burgeoning economy of digital platforms. Drawing on a series of conversations with two teachers and two school leaders at a Danish primary school, the article examines how the increasing involvement of educational platforms in schools reshapes who and what matters in the everyday life of the school. The article highlights different ways in which platforms entangle with educational practices and relations beyond their functional promises to save time, promote efficiency, solve administrative issues, and other related tasks. As generative forces based on relocating educational phenomena within a proprietary digital architecture, the analysis illustrates how the involvement of platforms becomes co-constitutive of new forms of affective attachments and loyalty that challenge historical configurations of pluralism in public schools. Drawing on these constitutive effects, the article introduces Lauren Berlant’s notion of cruel optimism to discuss the implications of sustaining public schooling within a largely unregulated economy of platform subscriptions. The article’s discussions call for closer political and scholarly attention to the educational consequences of enacting school within the economic conditions of current platform capitalism.KEYWORDS: Educational platformsaffectscruel optimismpublic educationpedagogical practicesschool ethnography Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Recent years have seen a growing body of scholarship on educational platforms aiming to ‘disentangle the operations and relational agency of digital technologies’ (Decuypere et al., Citation2021, p. 3). Employing a topological approach, Hartong, for example, explores how two school performance platforms used in the US enact ‘the fabrication and stabilization of particular relational settings as powerful governmental framings of (good) education’ (Hartong, Citation2021, p. 35). Perrotta and colleagues (2021) raise a similar concern in their study of Google Classroom. Noting how the work of teachers becomes synchronized with the algorithms and user scripts of platforms, they highlight ‘how participation is configured through governance strategies and infrastructures that partially structure activities and subjectivities according to digitally encoded logics’ (Perrotta et al., Citation2021, p. 99). This paper contributes to the interest in platformed configurations of education by foregrounding the affective and organizational aspects of imbricating everyday school life in digital architectures.2.
