HED4804 Assignment 2 Memo | Due June 2025. 2 Essays provided.
Write a 1000–1500-word essay in which you conceptualise (African)
philosophy of education as the creation of concepts-in-place. In your essay,
you should: Define philosophy and argue why it is important to
philosophise about education in a complex world Discuss the relationship
between place, concepts and philosophy (of education) Conceptualise
philosophy of education as the creation of concepts-in-place based on how
you understand the relationship between place, concepts and philosophy (of
education) Argue how your conceptualization of philosophy of education
enables you to be (come) a responsible and responsive educator in a
complex world.
Conceptualising (African) Philosophy of Education as the Creation of Concepts-
in-Place
Introduction
In an increasingly complex and interdependent world, education is not merely about transmitting
knowledge but about shaping identities, cultivating critical thought, and fostering ethical
responsiveness. To navigate such complexity meaningfully, there is a need to reflect on the
philosophical foundations that underpin educational practices. Philosophy—particularly in an
African context—serves as a powerful tool to rethink education in ways that honour local
realities, histories, and aspirations. In this essay, I argue that African philosophy of education can
be understood as the creation of concepts-in-place, where concepts emerge not in abstraction but
in relation to specific socio-cultural, historical, and geographical contexts. This approach offers a
way to reimagine education as place-responsive, dialogical, and emancipatory.
