Curriculum Studies (in the) Now: Transformations and Possibilities

Product Description

South Africa’s education system has transformed significantly over the course of three decades, with curriculum often perceived as the lever to effect change. This book takes a broader perspective through engaging curriculum transformation alongside and with particular curriculum studies theories that cut across schooling and postschooling. Curriculum Studies (in the) Now: Transformations and Possibilities brings leading South African scholars together to engage curriculum matters and curriculum studies as a field of inquiry aimed at advancing perspectives from the Global South. The book not only takes new and established researchers on a journey into curriculum studies and its transformations, but opens up possibilities for thinking and doing curriculum research and practice differently.

Curriculum Studies (in the) Now: Transformations and Possibilities is an essential resource for researchers and students, new or familiar with curriculum studies as a field of inquiry. It is at once a history and a synthesis of contemporary thinking, but it leaves readers with plenty of possibilities for research and practice to navigate themselves in an ever-changing, indeterminate curriculum landscape.
