Biography
Kalervo Gulson is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education, University of New South Wales, Australia. He is co-editor (with Colin Symes) of Spatial Theories of Education: Policy and Geography Matters (Routledge, 2007).
"Education Policy, Space and the City adopts critical insights and approaches from the new geography to argue that the city is an important site for policy studies. It spatializes the study of educational policy and thereby provides important new understandings of neoliberalism, globalization and postcolonialism and their spatial effects. This is an important new book that will become a field leader. It provides guidelines on how educationalists might borrow from the new geography to better understand the spatial and local effects of educational policy."
