Cosmopolitanism and the Age of School Reform

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Cosmopolitanism and the Age of School Reform by Thomas S. Popkewitz, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2007. This compelling work spans 236 pages and delves into the intricate relationship between educational policies and cosmopolitan philosophy. Popkewitz examines how policies aimed at inclusivity, such as "all children" and "no child left behind," are deeply intertwined with themes of human agency, freedom, and empowerment. However, he also highlights the darker aspects of these policies, focusing on the processes of abjection and the marginalization of disadvantaged groups, particularly urban children. This book is essential for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of educational reform. Engage with Popkewitz's critical analysis and explore the complexities of modern education in a global context.
