Critical Issues in American Education
The landscape of education in the United States is continually shifting. Rutgers University Press’s new book series, Critical Issues in American Education, provides a platform for showcasing the best scholarship that analyzes the historical and current forces shaping American educational institutions.
Taking advantage of sociology’s position as a leader in the social scientific study of education, this series will be home to the next generation of scholarship. The series hosts select books that work across disciplinary lines and the usual methodological boundaries, bringing topical and theoretical breadth. Anchored in sociological analysis, the series will feature carefully crafted empirical work that takes up the most pressing educational issues of our time, including federal education policy, gender and racial disparities in student achievement, access to higher education, labor market outcomes, teacher quality, decision making within institutions, and beyond.
