This book explores poststructural policy analysis in education, offering innovative insights and diverse perspectives on policy development and implementation.
In recent years, poststructural policy analysis in education has gained traction, focusing on challenging established narratives surrounding education policy research, development, and implementation. This book, Education Policy Analysis for a Complex World, stems from a workshop held at the University of British Columbia, supported by a Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Connection Grant. The central inquiry of the workshop was the potential of poststructural theories to provide innovative analyses and contribute to new strategies for policy development and implementation.
The chapters compiled in this collection reflect the diverse perspectives shared by workshop participants, showcasing the extensive range of scholarship that can be classified as poststructural policy analysis. Each contribution delves into the complexities of educational policies and the implications of adopting a poststructural lens. By examining the intersections between policy, research, and practice, the authors aim to illuminate how these theories can reshape our understanding of educational processes and outcomes.
Education Policy Analysis for a Complex World was initially published as a special issue of Critical Studies in Education, highlighting its relevance within academic discourse. The insights presented in this volume are crucial for educators, policymakers, and researchers who seek to navigate the complexities of contemporary educational landscapes and to foster meaningful change in policy practices.
