Description
Foucault, Power, and Education is a thought-provoking exploration of the influence of Michel Foucault's ideas on educational policy. Internationally renowned scholar Stephen J. Ball reflects on how Foucault's concepts have shaped his own work in this field. The book offers an in-depth analysis of the relationships between Foucault's key concerns and educational research, as well as a personal interpretation of his ideas by Ball himself. This introspective text provides valuable insights into the application of Foucault's theories to contemporary educational issues. Ideal for courses in education policy and education studies, this book is an essential starting point for scholars looking to engage with the literature and ideas of Foucault.
