The educational domain provides a platform for social mobility and social change. This book investigates the new National Educational Policy (NEP) to understand how it can bring social justice and transform education in a meaningful way to match the imagination of students from diverse groups. The author discusses matters of emotion and authority in education and argues for the need for educational psychology which takes into account the self-conscious emotions of students and teachers. The book reflects on important topics such as critical pedagogy, dehumanization, power in education through bricolage, and legitimacy in education, all within the context of critical educational psychology. Through research and observations, it discusses the socialpsychological aspect of stereotyping, othering, and prejudices in the educational domain.

The book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers working on education, school education, sociology of education, and educational psychology. It will also be useful for academicians, educators, policymakers, schoolteachers, and those interested in the politics of education.

Chetan Sinha is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the OP Jindal Global University, Sonipat. He holds a PhD in Social Psychology of Education from ZHCES, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
