This volume brings together an international set of contributors in
education research, policy and practice to respond to the influence
the noted academic Professor Michael Young has had on sociology,
curriculum studies and professional knowledge over the past fifty
years, and still has on the field to this day. It provides a
critical analysis of his work and the uses to which it has been put
in the UK and internationally, discussing implications for debates
on the purpose of education and how school curricula, as well as
programmes in other educational settings, could be run and teaching
undertaken, based on his contribution. Following Michael's long and
distinguished career - dating back to before Knowledge and Control:
New Directions for the Sociology of Education, which Michael edited
in 1971 - recent years have seen an upsurge in both academic and
policy interest in his work, including the new concern he expressed
for knowledge in his 2007 book Bringing Knowledge Back In. The book
concludes with an appreciation and a response to the authors from
Michael Young and a Coda from Charmian Cannon, who was on the
Institute of Education panel that appointed Michael to his post in
1967. This timely book is a unique critique and celebration,
written by experts whose own careers have been affected by Michael,
and will appeal to all those with an interest in the work of
Michael Young.
