"This is an outstanding set of new papers by leading researchers that will be an indispensable resource for the study of curriculum history."
—Gary McCulloch, Professor of Education at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom"No one can deal intelligently with issues of curriculum in American education without drawing on the work of Herbert M. Kliebard, and no one who wants to understand these issues should miss reading this volume."
—David F. Labaree, Michigan State University
In this landmark volume, former students and colleagues of Herbert Kliebard explore issues he pioneered, and extend the discussion to new intellectual terrain. Published to honor Kliebard upon his retirement from the faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, these essays address a number of key issues including the Dewey legacy, the conflict between democracy and social control, curriculum differentiation, and liberal education. Written by a distinguished group of curriculum theorists and educational historians, the essays offer researchers substantive treatment of an array of key curricular issues and provide a conceptually rich text for courses in curriculum and educational history.
