While these developments are frequently described as a “backlash,” the concept of backlash itself has rarely been theorized in education. Drawing on recent affect and political theory, this article offers a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary resistance to DEI initiatives as a distinct form of affective-political mobilization rather than a simple reaction to specific policies. Situating current disputes within a longer history of contestation over liberal educational reforms, the article argues that backlash to DEI operates as an affective-political dynamic shaped by perceptions of elite overreach, loss of voice, and challenges to institutional legitimacy. By applying the lens of backlash politics to higher education, the article illuminates why DEI has become such a charged object of struggle and what this reveals about the limits and tensions of liberal educational projects under conditions of polarization.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 4","pages":"486-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70095","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148389250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, Aristotelian Climate Change Education (CCE) aims to cultivate radicalized climate virtues in students and give them structured opportunities to contemplate Socrates's question—“How should one live?”—amidst conditions of unprecedented ecological uncertainty. However appealing this approach may be to environmentalists, it faces a serious objection from political liberals who appeal to the principle of neutrality toward competing conceptions of the good life. In this article, we draw from critical theorist Rahel Jaeggi's Critique of Forms of Life to address the concern about liberal neutrality while deepening our account of Aristotelian CCE. Jaeggi's work helps us diagnose liberal neutrality as an ideological avoidance strategy and offers an alternative, context-transcending standard for legitimacy grounded in whether a form of life can learn from crises and overcome its own blockages to learning. After showing why Aristotelian CCE should not be held to liberal neutrality as a standard of legitimacy, we argue that it is nevertheless legitimate because it cultivates capacities, such as problem recognition and good deliberation, necessary for successful learning. Along with structured time and space for contemplation about the good life, an education in radicalized climate virtues prepares students to flourish as they and their forms of life learn from a continually evolving climate.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 4","pages":"448-466"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edth.70096","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148389093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As many have proposed, its emphasis on reason-based thinking, community philosophical reflection, and inclusivity of diverse perspectives offers youth a chance to develop the thinking and dialogical skills necessary to address the environmental crisis we are facing. Despite the clear value of programs like P4C (or Philosophy with Children [PwC]), I argue that the current landscape of inquiry (i.e., the text and the community of philosophical inquiry) lacks an ecological dimension. That is, it is too abstract and detached from the non-ideal, immanent conditions of inquiry to purposefully cultivate thinkers who can make ecosocial decisions under the material conditions of the Anthropocene. Considering this narrowness, I resituate P4C within the broader program I call “Ecosophy with Children”: a purposeful reterritorialization of P4C's thinking systems as a transversal community of philosophical inquiry that conceptualizes participants' subjectivities in relation to their mental, social, and environmental ecological contexts.","PeriodicalId":47134,"journal":{"name":"EDUCATIONAL THEORY","volume":"76 4","pages":"467-485"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148389267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
