Between Educationalization and Appropriation

Marc Depaepe is Professor of History of Education at KU Leuven.

Between Educationalization and Appropriation is a comprehensive work highly recommended for those interested in the history of education. It captures the epistemological and methodological pluralism of the past and present without claiming to act outside of it. Rich in sources and self-reflexive in its style, the book concludes with “ten commandments of good practices in history of education research,” the overarching message of which can just as easily be applied to other fields and to this book: “thou shalt discourse about discourses”.Claudia Baumann, H-Soz-Kult, 15.03.2013, .
