It is our contention that we are in a crisis of curriculum that can be seen from calls to defund public education to the reduction of children to scores on annual assessments. We also point to a crisis in studies of curriculum that the critical tools necessary to consider and critique curricular practices have been intentionally removed from…

In the past decade, right-wing populist parties have brought back nationalism and religion into European politics.

We end with the kind of…
