Michael A. Peters is research professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Glasgow. He has written extensively on the subject of poststructuralism and education including the recent book, Poststructuralism, Politics, and Education (Greenwood, 1996). Nicholas C. Burbules is professor of educational policy studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, editor of the journal Educational Theory, author of Dialogue in Teaching (TC Press, 1993) and co-editor of Teaching and its Predicaments (Westview, 1997).
Poststructuralism and Educational Research makes an important
contribution to the field of educational research. Michael A.
Peters and Nicholas C. Burbules are accomplished scholars who are
well-positioned to offer not only clarification but also
prognostication concerning how post-structuralism will impact the
nature of educational research. Their efforts will prove to be of
value to anyone who is interested in the differences between
intellectual movements such as modernism and postmodernism
obviously along with structuralism and poststructuralism. Those who
take the time to read Peters' and Burbules' important work will
find themselves among those individuals who can anticipate the
impending sense of change wrought by poststructuralism—regardless
whether their intention is to embrace such a change or to resist
it.
