N2 - ‘Innovation’ and ‘employability’ are often used in and around chemistryeducation. In this chapter we explore how these terms can have a meaningful roleto play in relevant 21st century chemistry education. We argue that chemistryeducation, in particular at the level of higher education, faces at least threechallenges. We then trace back the genealogies of the concepts of innovation andemployability, and identify a way to understand these two concepts in a way thatrids them off the current economic connotations and which renders their usagemeaningful at the level of pedagogy.
