ESW Open Seminar Series
CHEER
Monday 27th October, 5pm
Room 104, Fulton
Speaker
Helen Gunter, Professor of Education Policy, University of Manchester,
presents:
Developing Intellectual Histories in
Educational Research
____________________________________
Professor Gunter has been working on an intellectual history of school
leadership for at least two decades, reporting on this in her doctoral thesis and
various publications since. During 2014, she will continue to develop this work
for a research monograph for Bloomsbury to be published in 2015.
In this seminar, Professor Gunter will share the intellectual journey she has
taken developing an approach to intellectual histories, and how she has
shaped and developed her approach for her latest text. She will discuss
different approaches to intellectual histories, and how she has developed her
own approach to recognise the interplay between agency and structure within
knowledge production, and the processes through which knowledge
production takes place.
