In 2008 the first in a series of symposia established a 'social
realist' case for 'knowledge' as an alternative to the relativist
tendencies of the constructivist, post-structuralist and
postmodernist approaches dominant in the sociology of education.
The second symposium focused on curriculum, and the development of
a theoretical language grounded in social realism to talk about
issues of knowledge and curriculum. Finally, the third symposium
brought together researchers in a broad range of contexts to build
on these ideas and arguments and, with a concerted empirical focus,
bring these social realist ideas and arguments into conversation
with data. Knowledge, Curriculum and Equity: Social Realist
Perspectives contains the work of the third symposium, where the
strengths and gaps in the social realist approach are identified
and where there is critical recognition of the need to
incrementally extend the theories through empirical study.
Fundamentally, the problem that social realism is seeking to
address is about understanding the social conditions of knowledge
production and exchange as well as its structuring in the
curriculum and in pedagogy. The central concern is with the
on-going social reproduction of inequality through schooling, and
exploring whether and how foregrounding specialised knowledge and
its access holds the possibility for interrupting it. This book
consists of 13 chapters by different authors working in Oceania,
Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. From very different vantage
points the authors focus their theoretical and empirical sights on
the assumptions about knowledge that underpin educational processes
and the pursuit of more equitable schooling for all.
