This book aims to posit theory as a central component to the study
of education and education policy. Providing clear, introductory
entries into contemporary critical theories and their take up in
education policy studies, the book offers a generative invitation
to further reading, thought and exploration. Instead of prescribing
how theory should be used, the contributors elaborate on a set of
possibilities for researching and critiquing education policy.
Education Policy and Contemporary Theory explores examples of how
theoretical approaches generate a variety of questions for policy
analysis, demonstrating the importance of theory as a necessary and
inevitable resource for exploring and contesting various policy
realms and dominant discourses. Each chapter provides a short
overview of key aspects of a particular theory or perspective,
followed by suggestions of methodological implications and
recommended readings to extend the outlined ideas. Organized around
two parts, the first section focuses on theorists while the second
section looks at specific theories and concepts, with the intention
that each part makes explicit the connection between theory and
methodology in relation to education policy research. Each
contribution is carefully written by established and emerging
scholars in the field to introduce new scholars to theoretical
concepts and policy questions, and to inspire, extend or challenge
established policy researchers who may be considering working in
new areas.
