Description
An educational research text, this work explores postmodernism ad deconstructionism connecting these to issues in philosophy, research methodology, and policy critique. The authors draw on literary theory, anthropology and sociology in order to construct alternative ways of reading and writing educational research, claiming that it is with a "reformed inheritance" that such research can address the condition of postmodernity as well as the positive and negative aspects of postmodernism.
