Keywords in Education Policy Research
The field of education policy research is a dense, crowded space owing to its complicated relationship to different intellectual histories and the influence of various ontologies or ‘turns’. To aid comprehension and clarity, this book describes the history, contribution and application of over 90 keywords in the field of education policy research. It is designed as a reference, learning and teaching tool to assist students, educators and researchers with:
•complex learning and teaching;
•wider and background reading and knowledge building;
•critical scholarship and research;
•interdisciplinary thinking and writing; and
•theory development and application.
“A brilliant and sophisticated conceptual toolbox of the major discursive themes in critical policy sociology in education. It will be essential reading and importantly will catalyse further reading, thinking and theory development in the field.” Bob Lingard, University of Queensland
"A remarkable work, a vital and daily abécédaire for any researcher, educator or student who seeks to inventively relate to our educational present and use theorising to critically grasp its complexity." Emiliano Grimaldi, University of Naples Federico II
