Education - An Anatomy of the Discipline by John Furlong

Education - An Anatomy of the Discipline by John Furlong

At a time of massive change in Higher Education, this book aims to contribute to the political project that is education; to the debate about the nature of education and what it should be as a university-based discipline.

‘A beautifully-written and brilliantly-argued book that has implications for all those places—especially the US.—where the university project of education is in jeopardy.’ Professor Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Boston College, USA

‘An excellent book that provides a much needed vision of how education as a subject of study in universities might rediscover its soul.’ Professor Geoff Whitty, Institute of Education, University of London, UK

‘The reach is classic. It is no less than the health of schooling for a democratic society in the age of national and global markets.’ Professor Sheldon Rothblatt, University of California, USA

‘Essential reading for everyone concerned about the university project in education wherever they are located.’ Professor Bob Lingard, The University of Queensland, Australia

John Furlong is Emeritus Professor and former Director of the Department of Education at the University of Oxford, UK.
