Description
This new textbook offers a wide-ranging discussion of the key debates within the sociology of education. It covers topics such as policymaking and the curriculum, class, ethnicity, and gender, and how these social divisions intersect to produce inequalities.
The text presents an international perspective with examples from diverse contexts, encouraging students to engage critically with core questions about the purpose of education, who decides what formal education entails, and the impact of education on society and individuals. With its accessible style, this book is suitable for those new to the topic or studying sociology of education for the first time.
Academically rigorous and up-to-date, thanks to a final chapter on emerging educational research, this textbook provides a valuable contribution to the study of education's vital role in contemporary society. Rachel Brooks brings extensive knowledge of decades of scholarly work in education and sociology to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
