Critical Geographies of Education: Space, Place, and Curriculum
Inquiry is an attempt to take space seriously in thinking about
school, schooling, and the place of education in larger society. In
recent years spatial terms have emerged and proliferated in
academic circles, finding application in several disciplines
extending beyond formal geography. Critical Geography, a
reconceptualization of the field of geography rather than a new
discipline itself, has been theoretically considered and
practically applied in many other disciplines, mostly represented
by what is collectively called social theory (i.e., anthropology,
sociology, cultural studies, political science, and literature).
The goal of this volume is to explore how the application of the
ideas and practices of Critical Geography to educational theory in
general and curriculum theorizing in specific might point to new
trajectories for analysis and inquiry. This volume provides a
grounding introduction to the field of Critical Geography, making
connections to the significant implications it has for education,
and by providing illustrations of its application to specific
educational situations (i.e., schools, classrooms, and
communities). Presented as an intellectual geography that traces
how spatial analysis can be useful in curriculum theorizing, social
foundations of education, and educational research, the book
surveys a range of issues including social justice and racial
equity in schools, educational reform, internationalization of the
curriculum, and how schools are placed within the larger social
fabric.
