P Taylor Webb is a Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia (Vancouver campus). His research focuses on education policy's intersections with neoliberalism, racial biopolitics, and computational governance. He critically examines how algorithms, datafication, and corporate partnerships reshape educational systems through policy frameworks, emphasizing resistance and decolonial perspectives.
Key research areas include postdigital governance, racialized policy enactments, and the biopolitical dimensions of education. His work interrogates how technologies like AI and data analytics create new forms of governance, while also exploring institutional racism through case studies like Islamic and Afrocentric schools.
Publications highlight policy mobilities, prolepsis (anticipatory governance), and event-based policy analysis. Recent works critique Big Tech's influence in universities and analyze pandemic-era educational contagion metaphors.
Webb's research outputs consistently address policy's affective dimensions, spatial geographies, and ethical implications, proposing inventive methodologies to counteract neoliberal and proto-fascist tendencies in education systems.
