Educational Research and the Question(s) of Time is a fascinating book on a subject very rarely focused on in education. Time. Early in the book the editors argue it is an analysis of time 'in itself' not time as part of, partner or contributor to something else. Research informing the edited book is collectively called the 'maelstrom of time', maelstrom being a powerful, swirling, coming together. The diverse chapters capture the many dimensions of time through personal reflections, documenting educational happenings and its cosmological gravity. Timing, slowing down, speeding up, temporality, timescapes, timetables, diffracted, free and the finality of time are themes threaded through this intriguing, edited collection. I would recommend it to anyone who ever considered how as teachers and researchers we find ourselves trapped in narrow definitions and regimes of 'time'.

This edited collection: Educational Research and the Question(s) of Time couldn't be more timely. It offers the reader ample opportunities to dwell upon the possibilities that exist to challenge and resist the weight of progress narratives and neoliberal preoccupations with efficiency. Together the chapters avoid the linear, progressive, Time's-(killing)- arrow mode of the Techno-Heroic story', as Ursula Le Guin (186, p. 153) expresses it. This collection deserves a slow and careful engagement and a willingness to think otherwise about life in the Anthropocene as it plays out within, through and beyond educational contexts.
