THIS BOOK ADVANCES NEW WAYS OF THINKING ABOUT EMERGENCE AND IMPACT OF
ITINERANT CURRICULUM THEORY (ICT). Written by authors based in
Algeria, Brazil, Chile, China, Estonia, South Korea, Spain and the
USA, the chapters examine the opportunities and challenges paved by
ICT in the struggle to open up and decolonize curriculum policies. The
contributors show how ICT can help us to pave a new way to think about
and to do curriculum theory and announce ICT as a declaration of
epistemological liberation, one that helps to resist Eurocentric
dominance. The chapters cover topics including, ecologies of the
Global South, education discourse in South Korea, China's Curriculum
Reform, and the history of colonialism in the Middle East.
Building on the work of Antonia Darder, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and
others, this book posits that the future of the field is the struggle
against curriculum epistemicides and this is ultimately a struggle for
social justice. The book includes a Foreword by the leading curriculum
historian William Schubert, Professor Emeritus of Curriculum and
Instruction at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA.
