The Unbearable Lightness of Curriculum: Essays in Curriculum Theory

Madeleine Grumet's collection of key writings is organized in three sections-Situated Subjectivity, The Art of Curriculum, Subjectivity and its Discontents- each introduced by an essay framing its issues in the situation from which they sprang, both acknowledging the relation of situation and subjectivity expressed in their writing, and using this opportunity to bring in the politics of education as Grumet experienced them as a professor and as a dean of schools of education.
