Resumen de Education as warfare?: : mapping securitised education interventions as war on terror strategy

Nicole Nguyena

• Across history, the US has strategically used education to buttress its war efforts. The current US global �war on terror� is no different. The US's amplified emphasis on in/security and defence following the September 11 attacks folds education into the assemblage of technologies used to explain and advance military intervention. Through a critical geopolitics framework, this analysis unravels the �imaginative geographies� that facilitate this absorption of education and feminism into imperial strategy of war by looking at three distinct education interventions. It considers how disparate sites of and engagements with education � materially and discursively � ineluctably work to humanise, justify, and advance US warfare.
