Related to the “Économie des Conventions” (e.g., Batifoulier et al. 2021; Diaz-Bone & Salais 2011), the multifaceted field of (French) institutionalist and pragmatic sociology offers innovative explanatory and analytical approaches to a number of current challenges in education research. Concepts and research strategies from the “sociology of conventions” (Diaz-Bone & Larquier 2022; Imdorf & Leemann 2023), the “sociology of critique” (Boltanski & Thévenot 1999; Boltanski 2011) or the actor-network theory (Latour 1996) are increasingly used to investigate processes of standardization, quantification and datafication of education, conflicts and controversies about educational quality and educational justice, dynamics of economization and privatization of educational provision or the interplay of science, politics and practice in the establishment and transformation of educational arrangements. […] The aim of the special issue is to discuss the potentials, empirical findings, challenges and desiderata of convention theory in education research (from early childhood, kindergarten, schools, to higher and further education, including special education across all segments). Convention theory brings in an institutionalist and pragmatist perspective, and, this way, contributes a profound social science approach to education research. This social science approach to education research emphasizes situations and settings organized through conventions.
