This key text offers a detailed exploration of the wide range of
theoretical approaches to theory, practice and research in Europe and
how these can illuminate our understanding of contemporary education
systems. Contributors working or living in countries across the
continent offer their insights into different histories and contemporary
problems, with each chapter exploring key themes and concepts to provoke
critical thinking and discussion.
Key areas and debates examined include:
- Educational poverty
- Perspectives on democracy and citizenship
- Theorising education and educational research
- Epistemic injustice in the curriculum
- Educational provision and ethos
Drawing on these wide-ranging themes across a number of national
contexts to provoke critical thinking and reflection, each chapter also
includes discussion points and further reading.
This book is most suitable for students working towards their BA or MA
in Education Studies or other education-related courses. It also offers
a worthwhile resource for lectures and researchers engaged in the topic
of international education.
