Routledge Cultural Studies in Knowledge, Curriculum, and Education
About the Book Series
This series brings together innovative and cutting-edge interdisciplinary studies that focus on "reason" or the language of school reforms, curriculum, teacher education and educational research. It engages in alternative approaches regarding the politics of school knowledge, languages, academic research and the problem of studying change. The series critically examines and gives historical specificity to what is given as natural in the everyday life of schooling and its research, and considers the cultural practices of how life is to be lived, its spaces of inclusion and exclusion, the shaping of boundaries, and possibilities of the future. With these orientations, the series welcomes proposals concerned with the materiality of knowledge, and those that explore central issues of our time in school and social change beyond those framed within the provincial borders of the nation.
