“…I have argued that injustice will take new shapes, even as momentum builds to change society. I have suggested that education is part of the problem, and that even progressive educative responses, while useful, may not get at the crux of the issue, which I take to be the ongoing morphologies of capitalism, of which colonialism is but a mere reverberation of the power of capitalism (Duarte, 2006). I have, finally, suggested, that catching up to capitalism and pedagogically championing something that cuts at the core of it would be a good step; conceiving, thus, of an educational good beyond the bounds of capitalism is a vital philosophical and moral objective: What does education have to offer to challenge and subvert injustice and power today?…”

Greed and power have morphed into forms of capitalism unaddressed from a philosophical, moral or educative framework. This article seeks to address this important gap in the literature by first outlining how the financialisation of capital constitutes the new educational subject in primary, secondary and tertiary school. The author establishes how these new morphologies of power create an imagination that renders students and even the goal of education as a function of unending growth, extraction and disembodiment. In response, the author posits a different vision of habits, practices, postures and morals that root out power in education. Drawing from degrowth theory and an emphasis on simplicity, care, conviviality and the ritual destruction of accumulation, the author theorises what a pedagogy of degrowth may entail. Doing so answers an ever-important question-what is an educational good?-by conceiving of the 'value' of education beyond the bounds of capitalism.

In this article I argue that pedagogical reform is needed in the current Westernized teaching of sociology to create a new, more equal, humane and ecologically sound world. Present teaching methods encourage instrumental approaches to studying and learning. As a result, students seem to have grown indifferent to learning, becoming mere reflections of their study environment. In confronting the needed pedagogical reform, I focus on the smallest particle of higher educationthe structure of the teaching and learning process in the sociology classroom, and suggest the implementation of collaborative learning situations.
