Profound changes in society, government policy and the political landscape, as well as cataclysmic events such as 9/11, have greatly altered perceptions of faith schools and their existence now causes more controversy than ever.

Taking a reflective practice approach, this study by people working within faith schools and colleges explores the new hot issues surrounding the subject in a sophisticated way. Looking at the supposed secularisation of the West, the nature of the multi-cultural and multi-faith society, the role of women, the spiritual development of children and most of...

This book examines an important aspect of the relationship between higher education and the public - especially secondary - system of schooling in Britain.

Higher education has influenced secondary schools in a number of ways, and not least in the development of school examinations. The contributors to this book - each of them experts in their fields analyse the contributions made by some university luminaries, most of them still household names. These personalities have contributed in a variety of ways such as:

• becoming Ministers of Education
• contributing...

City schools, especially those attended by working class and ethnic minority pupils are the catalysts of many significant issues in educational debate and policy making. This book presents a foundation for a more historically located and critically informed inquiry into problems, conflicts and contradictions in urban schooling.

A Systematic Approach.

McNeil blames the poor quality of high school instruction for the tensions between the social control purposes of schooling and the schools' educational goals.

Provides a theory of aesthetic education that addresses the need to revitalise the capacity for genuine judgement in society, to reaffirm the ideal of excellence in culture, and to reorder our thoughts about the teaching of arts in schools.

Based primarily on ethnographic data, Working Class without Work examines the identity formation process among white working-class youth in the context of the de-industrialization of the American economy. The elimination of many basic production jobs and the expansion of the service sector have changed the expectations and opportunities of the white working class. Weis documents the way in which these young people respond to such changes, and the way they help to create the conditions of their future lives. In the process, she explores issues of race, class, gender and considers the roles of...

The work of Raymond Williams has inspired radical intellectuals engaged in cultural politics and influenced many academic disciplines across the social sciences and humanities. Views Beyond the Border Country examines the assumptions and limitations of Williams's political vision and commitments.

Feminisms and Critical Pedagogy centres around the theoretical effort to construct a feminist pedagogy which will democratize gender relations in the classroom, and practical ways to implement a truly feminist pedagogy.

The debate between critical pedagogy and feminist pedagogy is perhaps the fiercest within educational theory. Despite sharing much theoretical ground, each approach claims to be the exclusive alternative educational discourse. The Struggle for Pedagogies shows how this struggle for a dominant approach came about.

Public Schools That Work addresses the efforts of teachers, administrators and parents to develop alternative educational models capable of overcoming the alienation and intellectual disengagement that have become so common in American schools. Educators working in some of the best alternative elementary and secondary schools across the country recount their attempts to create systems which will educate diverse populations in their customs and heritages, involve parents and community leaders in decisions related to the life of their schools and...

Critical Conversations in Philosophy of Education presents a series of conversations expressing many of the multiple voices that currently constitute the field of philosophy of education. Philosophy of education as a discipline has undergone several turns--the once marginal perspectives of the various feminisms, critical Marxism, and poststructuralist, postmodernist and cultural theory have gained ground alongside those of Anglo-analytic and pragmatic thought. Just as Western philosophers in general are coming to terms with the "end of philosophy" pronouncement implicit in...

Informed by the belief that critical pedagogy must move beyond the classroom if it is to be truly effective, this essay collection makes clear how cultural practices--as portrayed in film, sports, and in the classroom itself--enable cultural studies to deepen its own political possibilities and to construct diverse geographies of identity, representation and place.
