Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

At a time when knowledge is being 're-valued' as central to curriculum concerns, subject English is being called to account. This book puts long-standing debates about knowledge and knowing in English in dialogue with an investigation of how English teachers are made in the 21st century.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Larissa McLean Davies is Professor of Teacher Education in the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, at the University of Melbourne.

To this end, she leads substantive priority projects in partnership with Australian Federal, State and Territory Governments which support the development of teacher knowledge and practice in diverse social, geographical and disciplinary contexts. She has published widely in the areas of teacher education and English curriculum and is known for her work at the intersection of literary studies and English education.

Lyn Yates' long-standing research interests have been in the possibilities and constraints of institutional education, both schooling and post-school education. Her work has included a range of research on curriculum and the schooling experience as shapers of identity, and of gender- and class-based inequalities and opportunities within this. It has also included many essays and analyses of changing education policies, both in Australia and internationally, with particular attention to knowledge and social change, and to the longer-term implications of how the roles of schools and universities are being understood and enacted. Lyn is now Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Melbourne. Her major books include Making Modern Lives (with Julie McLeod) (Suny Press, 2006), What Does Good Education Research Look Like? (McGraw-Hill Education, 2004), Curriculum in Today's World (with Madeleine Grumet) (Routledge, 2011) and Knowledge at the Crossroads? (with Peter Woelert, Victoria Millar and Kate O'Connor) (Springer, 2017).
