![]() | Education Policy and the Political Right: The Burning Fuse beneath Schooling in the US, UK and Australia Subjects: Education; Politics & International Relations; Education Policy & Politics; History of Education; Sociology of Education; European Politics; U.S. Politics; This work attempts a comparative description and analysis, focusing on the US, the UK, and Australia on the topic of the Right, educational policy, and schooling. It adopts as its underlying theme the burning fuse in tracing the topic back to Joseph de Maistre a Rightist who fled revolutionary France to seek safety in the company of Tsar Alexander I's Russian Empire. Here, he had much to say about school education, not for all, but rather the "deserving" social elite. Grant Rodwell was a school principal in Tasmania (1980-87). From 1987 he has lectured, researched, and held various administrative roles in Australian universities in Education and in Arts and Social Sciences. Holding five PhDs, he is currently an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in the School of Education at The University of Newcastle. This is his fifth book published by Routledge. |
