Discourse in Educational and Social Research by Maggie Maclure
Demonstrates the challenges of a discourse-based orientation to educational and social research. Drawing on a variety of educational and social science 'texts', this work shows how knowledge, power, identities and realities are constructed and problematised in discourse.
"With wonderful clarity Maggie MacLure shows how deconstructionism opens new avenues of critical inquiry and understanding for educational researchersIn exposing the hidden, ideological side of terms like clarity, certainty, mastery and relevance she allows us to see schooling and educational policy in new ways. In so doing she allows us to imagine classrooms as liberating, pedagogical places, as places where new forms of desire, knowledge, and learning take place" - Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign
Maggie MacLure is Professor of Education at the University of East Anglia.
