First Edition
Meenakshi Thapan
Through an excellent selection of essays, this volume provides an overview of the major underlying themes in the sociology of education, as well of the processes and practices that explicate education in contemporary India. Almost all essays are grounded on empirical research and, using an ethnographic approach, seek to understand education from the perspective of students, teachers, as well as the institutional and non-institutional settings in which most educational practice occurs. The rich and panoramic introduction provides the broad canvas of the sociology of education in a disciplinary framework within which the essays are located. This book is essential reading for sociologists, teachers, student teachers, and those concerned about the social issues and contexts that underpin education and learning in India.
Suitable for: Sociologists in India and abroad, teacher trainees, teachers in schools and universities, students in universities, NGO workers in the field of education.

Description
Education and Society: Themes, Perspectives, Practices concerns itself with the social issues and contexts that underpin education and learning in India. It begins with a focus on the possibilities opened up by education, whether these concern the individual, society, or the world at large. Through an excellent selection of essays arranged in six thematic sections, this volume provides an overview of the major underlying concepts in the sociology of education, as well as of the processes and practices that explicate education in contemporary India. Most essays are grounded on empirical research and use ethnography in seeking to understand education from the perspective of students, teachers, as well as the institutional and non-institutional settings within which educational practices occur. The rich and panoramic introduction provides a broad canvas to the essays, which are intentionally both an academic work and a pedagogical aid, since education is both an intellectual discipline, and also a profession.
