Educational Management in Managerialist Times by Martin Thrupp
For academics and students, Education Management in Managerialist Times offers a critical guide to existing educational management texts and makes a strong case for redefining educational management along more socially and politically informed lines. The book also offers practitioners alternative management strategies intended to contest, rather than support, managerialism, while being realistic about the context within which those who lead and manage schools currently have to work.
Martin Thrupp is Reader in Education Policy at King's College, London. His research interests include the nature and impact of educational reform in England and New Zealand, the social and political limitations of educational management literatures, and the influence of social class on school processes. He is currently involved in a study of educational autonomy and regulation across five European countries. His last Open University Press book Schools Making a Difference: Let's Be Realistic! won the 1999 SCSE Book Prize.
Robert Willmott previously lectured at the Universities of Birmingham and Bath. His research interests include realist social theory, education policy, pedagogy and the 'new managerialism', which are reflected in his recent book Realist Social Theory and Education Policy (Routledge 2002). He is currently training to teach in primary schools.
