A Social History of Educational Studies and Research examines the
development of the study of education in the UK in its broader
educational, social and political context since its early
beginnings in the first part of the twentieth century. By providing
a historical analysis of the contested growth of the field this
book examines the significant contribution that has been made by
institutions of higher education, journals, text books,
conferences, centres, and academic societies. It discusses the
problems and opportunities of the field, and its prospects for
survival and adaptation to current changes in the decades ahead.
The work draws on documentary sources, social network analysis, and
interviews with leading figures from across the field. This book
highlights international influences on the development of
educational studies and research in the UK, its role in the growing
internationalisation of the field as a whole, and also comparisons
and contrasts with the nature of the field elsewhere. It relates
the development to the wider social, political and economic changes
affecting higher education in general and educational studies and
research in particular. It addresses the historical development of
disciplines in higher education institutions and the nature, extent
and limitations of interdisciplinarity. A Social History of
Educational Studies and Research discuss the problems and
opportunities facing the study of education today, and its
prospects of adapting to changes in the decades ahead. It is a
distinctive and original analysis of educational studies and
research that provides the first comprehensive study of its type.
