Chris Richards is Research Officer and Ethnographer at the Centre for the Study of Children, Youth and Media, London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, University of London, UK."'Young People, Popular Culture and Education is a magisterial treatment of the multiple and complex intersections between cultural studies and education. With a particular and sustained attention to youth culture, Richards moves between theoretical and empirical material with sustained, provocative, and illuminating grace. While this text is particularly well suited for classroom use, it can be usefully read by scholars with a range of experience and backgrounds. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.' Greg Dimitriadis, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, University at Buffalo, SUNY, USA"
This series presents an authoritative, coherent and focused collection of core texts to introduce the contemporary issues that are covered in Education Studies, and related programmes.
Each book develops a key theme in contemporary education, such as:
- Multiculturalism
- The social construction of childhood
- Urban education
- eLearning and multimedia
- Language and literacy
A key feature of this series is the critical exploration of education in times of rapid change, with links made between such developments in wider social, cultural, political and economic contexts. Further, contextualised extracts from important primary texts, such as Bourdieu, Piaget and Vygotsky, will ensure students' exposure to dominant contemporary theories in the field of education.
Grounded in a strong conceptual, theoretical framework and presented in an accessible way with the use of features such as case studies, activities and visual devices to encourage and support student learning and the application of new concepts, this series will serve well as collection of core texts for the Education Studies student and lecturer.
