Conflicts in Curriculum Theory : Challenging Hegemonic Epistemologies (Hardcover)

Paraskeva (education policy analysis and studies, U. of Massachusetts-Dartmouth) puts the emergence and development of the history of curriculum theory into historical context, identifies the emergence of a group of critical theorists within the field, offers a new metaphor of the field as a critical curriculum river that meanders, and examines and critiques the reconceptualist movement. The future of critical curriculum theory requires overcoming current tensions and contradictions, he argues, and creating an itinerant curriculum theory committed to the struggle against epistemicides.
