"Changing the Educational Landscape" is a collection of the best-known and best-loved essays by the renowned feminist philosopher of education, Jane Roland Martin.
The volume charts the remarkable intellectual development of a thinker who has travelled distinctively across a changing educational landscape. Trained as an analytic philosopher at a time before women or feminist ideas were welcome in the field, Martin brought a philosopher's detached perspective to her earliest efforts to reconstitute the curriculum. Her later essays on women and gender showcase the tremendous intellectual energy generated by her embrace of feminist theory and highlight her sparkling contribution to the field.
Among the many issues Martin explores in "Changing the Educational Landscape" are the contradictions and challenges posed by the very subject of women's education, how the presence of women necessitates a transformation of educational interpretations and ideals, and the work that remains to be done if a secure place for women within the educational realm is to be ensured. The essays offer a compelling portrait of Martin's intellectual journey as a feminist and educational thinker and document thoroughly her critiques of standard accounts of curriculum and her remapping of the field.
The volume is introduced by the author, wherein she reflects on her work, criticisms that have been levelled at particular essays, and the educational, feminist, and philosophical context into which her writing fits and to which it responds.
Industry Reviews
"The essays in "Changing the Educational Landscape cover more than a twenty-year span of Martin's writing and are invaluable reading for anyone interested in curriculum and women's place in education....Martin's writings provide a window into a feminist scholar's struggle to hold onto her own voice and creativity in the androcentric academy, and bears witness to how a scholar's thinking about education is transformed when she pays attention to the lives of women and girls." -"Teachers College Record, Spring 1996
