This collection brings together many of the world’s leading sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and concerns within the discipline. The thirty-seven newly commissioned chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality. The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the past twenty-five years. The first rests on a clear articulation by the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three key areas: perspectives and theories social processes and practices inequalities and resistances. The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the sociology of education and the nature of ‘sociological work’ in this field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a title of major interest to practising sociologists of education.

The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Education is the first authoritative reference work to provide an international analysis of the relationship between power, knowledge, education, and schooling. Rather than focusing solely on questions of how we teach efficiently and effectively, contributors to this volume push further to also think critically about education's relationship to economic, political, and cultural power. The various sections of this book integrate into their analyses the conceptual, political, pedagogic, and practical histories, tensions, and resources that have established critical education as one of the most vital and growing movements within the field of education, including topics such as:social movements and pedagogic workcritical research methods for critical educationthe politics of practice and the recreation of theorythe freirian legacy.With a comprehensive introduction by Michael W. Apple, Wayne Au, and Luis Armando Gandin, along with thirty-five newly-commissioned pieces by some of the most prestigious education scholars in the world, this Handbook provides the definitive statement on the state of critical education and on its possibilities for the future.

Education has become a crucial site of struggle in multiple nations of the world. Education and the Politics of Interruption examines how governments, schools, educators, communities, and parents have become central figures in the conflicts between authoritarian coalitions and progressive educational and social movements. In recent years, educators around the world have experienced increasingly influential and powerful attempts by the right to ban books from classrooms and libraries, silence diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, control what and whose knowledge is taught in classrooms, and push policies that defund public schools, increase the pressure for marketization, and assert “parental choice.” This book describes ongoing alliances and organizing efforts across the globe that work to build and defend critically democratic educational policies and practices amid the growing rightist ideological and legislative influences. It provides substantive critical analyses of conservative and authoritarian agendas in education, exposes the social and educational costs of these agendas, and documents the ongoing struggles against them. In the process, it broadens our understanding of how people can defend and expand critically democratic schooling and cooperate across differing ideological agendas. This volume will be important reading for critical educators and for scholars and students of Critical Education, Curriculum Studies, Education Politics and Policy, Social Justice, Sociology of Education, and Comparative Education.
