This special issue offers an open platform for sociological, ethnographic, genealogical, and historical work on education in Central and Eastern Europe. In a field otherwise dominated by psychology and pedagogy, we invite authors to contribute with papers that critically engage with topics such as how “the social” is conceptualized in education, how global and local epistemological legacies and data practices shape regional educational research, and how education contributes to social (in)justice in CEE. We welcome empirical research, theoretically informed papers, as well as auto‑ethnographic reflections.
