The Curriculum Studies Reader In this sixth edition of David J. Flinders and Stephen J. Thornton’s ground- breaking anthology, the editors assemble the best in past and present curriculum studies scholarship.

New to this edition is a dynamic set of contemporary and historical contributions tackling issues such as high-stakes testing, multicultural literacy, white supremacy in the curriculum, and climate change. Carefully balanced to engage with the history of curriculum studies while simultaneously looking ahead to its future, The Curriculum Studies Reader continues to be the most authoritative collection in the field.

Thornton, Professor in the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Learning at the University of South Florida, graduated with his PhD from Stanford University in 1985.

We are truly grateful to them. Particular thanks are due to Nel Noddings and the late Elliot W. Eisner. They, more than anyone else, taught us that questions of the purposes, design, and evaluation of the curriculum are implicated in all educational thought and practice. At Routledge in New York, we are grateful for years of working so effortlessly with Catherine Bernard on earlier editions of The Curriculum Studies Reader and on this sixth edition, with Matthew Friberg.
