Culture and the Political Economy of Schooling: What's Left for Education?
Autor John Morganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2018
Culture and the Political Economy of Schooling provides educators and social scientists with the essential background required to understand changes in schooling since the Second World War. It introduces theories of the economic crisis, and explores their educational implications, before going on to provide accounts of how politics and culture have shaped debates about schooling. This cultural political economy approach is applied to issues such as social class, race, the brave new worlds of work, the dangerous rise of creative education, and the increasingly urgent question of inequality. The final parts of the book explore the educational challenges of the Anthropocene and the changing conceptions of knowledge in schools and finally consider alternatives to contemporary schooling.
The students in our schools today will face a future framed by the twin crises of economy and environment, prompting an urgent rethink of education. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, this book is an essential guide for thinking about the past, present and futures of education. It will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students of education studies, curriculum studies, sociology of education, education politics and education policy.

Recenzii
Education, culture, economy – and the environment! A bracing, thoroughly engaged account of public schooling, drawing explicitly on both cultural studies and political economy, this book takes us back to the future and opens up rich possibilities for rethinking education in and for the Anthropocene, as a ‘socialist-realist’ project. Highly recommended.
Emeritus Professor Bill Green, Charles Sturt University, Australia
HG Wells famously observed that the story of humankind resembles "more and more a race between education and catastrophe". John Morgan’s brilliant book opens up this proposition with a confident and very engaging voice. He presents a clear explanation of why and how the idea of education has been narrowed and (to his occasional disgruntlement) the failure of researchers and practitioners alike to recognise the consequences. Whilst the book understandably stops short of providing a radical blueprint for change, John Morgan’s scholarship enables a deeper understanding of the role of schools in contemporary society, and what needs to be addressed to avert catastrophe.
