Series Editor: Joel Spring, Queens College - City University of New York

This series focuses on studies of public and private institutions, the media, and academic disciplines that contribute to educating--in the broadest sense--students and the general public. The series welcomes volumes with multicultural perspectives, diverse interpretations, and a range of political points of view from conservative to critical. Books accepted for publication in this series will be written for an academic audience and, in some cases, also for use as supplementary readings in graduate and undergraduate courses.

Topics to be addressed in this series include, but are not limited to, sociocultural, political, and historical studies of:

  • Local, state, national, and international educational systems
  • Elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities
  • Public institutions of education such as museums, libraries, and foundations
  • Computer systems and software as instruments of public education
  • The popular media as forms of public education
Content areas within the academic study of education, such as curriculum and instruction, psychology, and educational technology.
