Biografisk notat
Karl Maton is Lecturer in Sociology at the Faculty of Arts, University of Sydney. Rob Moore is Lecturer in Sociology of Education at the University of Cambridge, Faculty of Education, and Fellow of Homerton College.'The centrality of knowledge to the sociology of education may seem obvious, but its importance has been neglected for the best part of thirty years. This book makes a persuasive case for reinstating knowledge at the heart of our field.' Geoff Whitty, Director of the Institute of Education and Professor of Education, University of London, UK
'This book advances debates in education about the nature of knowledge and the curriculum consolidating the position of social realism. A developed social realism has been a long time in the making but now must count as the most powerful critique of relativism and social constructionism in the field: its arguments cannot be ignored.' Hugh Lauder, Professor of Education and Political Economy, University of Bath, UK
‘Social Realism, Knowledge and the Sociology of Education offers debates about schooling, teacher training, and educational equity beyond post theories such as post-structuralism and post-modernism. Such theoretical work is crucial to current educational debates across the globe.' Parlo Singh, Professor of Education and Dean of the Graduate Research School, Griffith University, Australia
