As a follow-up to Towards a Just Curriculum Theory and Curriculum
Epistemicide , this volume illuminates the challenges and
contradictions which have prevented critical curriculum theory from
establishing itself as an alternative to dominant Western Eurocentric
epistemologies. Curriculum and the Generation of Utopia re-visits the
work of leading progressive theorists and draws on a complex range of
epistemological perspectives from the Middle East, Africa, Southern
Europe, and Latin America. Paraskeva illustrates how counter-dominant
narratives have been suppressed by neoliberal dynamics through an
exploration of key issues including: itinerant curriculum theory,
globalization and internationalization, as well as utopianism.
Foregrounding critical curriculum theory as a vector of
de-colonization and de-centralization, the text puts forth Itinerant
Curriculum Theory (ITC) as an alternative form of anti-colonial,
theoretical engagement. This work forms an important addition to the
literature surrounding critical curriculum theory. It will be of
interest to post-graduate scholars, researchers and academics in the
fields of curriculum studies, curriculum theory, and critical
educational research.
