Curriculum studies

Where does curriculum studies go once the reconceptualist movement has run its course, and what can the emerging generation of scholars offer? This handbook takes up those questions by gathering the work of twenty-four early-career researchers, each examining the field's current moment in a distinct way.

Each essay is followed by a briefer reply from an established figure in the field. These paired pieces set newer thinkers in conversation with both their peers and their predecessors, tracing where the discipline has been and where it might turn next.

The contributions cover a wide range of approaches. They include feminist thought read alongside postcolonial theory, critical race perspectives, currere, queer southern studies, Black feminist cultural analysis, post-structural policy studies, spiritual ecology, and East-West philosophical traditions. Together they map current and emerging directions in curriculum scholarship in the United States.
