Description

The volume provides crucial approaches from leading educators, curriculum theorists, and pedagogues since the emergence of curriculum as a field of studies. It underlines the wrangles within and beyond hegemonic and counter-hegemonic curriculum inquiry exploring the advances, accomplishments, and frustrations of a particular radical critical river of intellectuals‚Äîwhat Paraskeva calls the “generation of utopia”‚Äîin the struggle for a just society. “Thanks to a keenly discerning eye, Paraskeva has crafted an essential tool for stepping back and taking epistemological stock of the course the field has taken and the directions in which it is now being steered.”‚ÄîCathryn Teasley, University of A Coru√±a, Spain “‚ÄòUnder one roof‚Äô Paraskeva captures the writings, ruminations, and reflections of germinal authors from what I characterize as the ‚Äòporous‚Äô field of curriculum studies.”‚ÄîTodd, Price National Louis University, USA “Paraskeva strikes again and provides key foundational documents in a volume that should be examined by all educators committed to social and cognitive justice.”‚ÄîJames Jupp, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA “Paraskeva‚Äôs reader is imperative to those unhappy with the current state of the field and who want to know how curriculum theorizing relates to other areas of thinking.”‚ÄîFatma Mƒ±zƒ±kacƒ±, Ankara University, Turkey “Jo√£o Paraskeva‚Äôs edited book offers a wonderfully comprehensive examination of the leading and common means of theorizing knowledge in educational thought.”‚ÄîAnthony Brown, University of Texas, Austin, USA “Paraskeva‚Äôs volume provides a powerful understanding of the struggles between hegemonic perspectives and a dispersed counter-hegemonic radical critical river‚Äîas he insightfully labeled ‚Äòa generation of utopia‚Äô‚Äîa river of hope and possibility.”‚ÄîMaria Nikolakaki, University of Peloponnese, Greece
