By including material from literary, philosophical, and
anthropological sources, and by selecting readings which consider
educational practice both within and beyond formal educational
contexts, this book broadens the character of sociological inquiry
in education. The editors bring together material they have found
valuable when working with students of education and
DEGREESsociology at all levels. Many of these articles and extracts
are either inaccessible or have not been reprinted. The collection
should stimulate inquiry about the assumptions underlying current
debates on curriculum, streaming, school organization, methods of
teaching, and preconceived notions of ability.
Toward a Sociology of Education develops an alternative
theoretical approach to and engages in critical dialogue with
mainstream sociology, and also points to other theoretical and
practical probabilities.
