Abstract
As Michèle Le Doeuff pointed out in her classic feminist work, The Philosophical Imaginary,
images function in philosophical writing to enact certain political and theoretical possibilities
and limitations. She draws our attention to the relationship between images and concepts
throughout the history of philosophy, and philosophy’s forgetting and occlusion of
its own imaginaries. We wonder with Le Doeuff about the image that philosophy gives to
itself of what it is to do philosophy. So too we wonder about the images that orient and
inflect both educational practice and research. What images do educational researchers
give to themselves of education, the practice of education and of research in education?
This issue examines the ways in which diverse educational imaginaries operate. It thinks
from and with recent feminist work in both philosophy and education.
