A Political Sociology of Education Policy cover

Critical education policy research has a long tradition of political sociology. Drawing on data and analysis from the Education Policy Knowledgeable Polity (EPKP) project, supported by funders such as the British Academy and the Economic and Social Research Council, this book presents a new political sociology for framing, conducting and presenting critical education policy research.

In doing so, it will be the first in the field to interconnect political thinking from Arendt with sociological thinking from Bourdieu, producing innovative analysis for and about educational reform.

“A highly original take on educational segregation and the need for a political sociology that is up to the job of adequately grasping its nature, while also identifying opportunities for change. An innovative and important book.” David James, Cardiff University
