Editorial: Open issue

Abstract

In this fifth volume of Confero we present four essays that in various ways relate to education, philosophy and politics, all imbued with social criticism and contributing to Conferos interdisciplinary focus and encouragement to essayistic writing. The four essays in this issue, although diverse in study subjects, methods, and theories, all share features related to the phenomenon of power asymmetries in differents educational settings and arenas. Dispite the diversity in terms of methology, scope and perspectives they all relate to Conferos areas of interest: education, philosophy and politics.
