This new textbook offers a wide-ranging discussion of the key
debates within the sociology of education. Covering everything from
policymaking and the curriculum, to class, ethnicity and gender,
and the ways that they and other social divisions intersect to
produce inequalities, this timely publication provides a
much-needed contribution to the study of education's vital role in
contemporary society. With examples drawn from such diverse
contexts as Australian pre-schools, Finnish higher education
institutions and English further education colleges, the text
presents students with an international perspective and encourages
them to engage critically with some of the core questions that lie
at the heart of the topic: what is the purpose of education? who
decides what formal education entails? and what impact does
education have on both society and individuals? Rachel Brooks's
extensive knowledge of decades of scholarly work in education and
sociology ensures the book is academically rigorous throughout,
while the final chapter on emerging educational research means it
is fully up to date. The text's accessible style is ideally suited
to all those new to the topic and studying the sociology of
education for the first time, whether this be from departments of
sociology, childhood studies, social policy, or a range of other
social science disciplines.
