This collection brings together many of the world 's leading
sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and
concerns within the discipline. The thirty-seven newly commissioned
chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of
contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and
enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality.
The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the
field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are
discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the
past twenty-five years. The first rests on a clear articulation by
the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at
least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational
institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge
International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the
ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two
political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three
key areas:
- perspectives and theories
- social processes and practices
- inequalities and resistances.
The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the
sociology of education and the nature of sociological work in this
field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a
title of major interest to practising sociologists of
education.
