Educational Experience as Lived
“Not only is this an important book, it is also a necessary book. William
Pinar is one of the major curriculum theorists of the past forty years. While he
launched the reconceptualization of curriculum studies, subsequent events have
shown that he has set the scholarly direction for the fi eld in the 21st Century.”
Terrance R. Carson, University of Alberta, Canada
In this volume William F. Pinar enacts his theory of curriculum, detailing the
relations among knowledge, history, and alterity. The introduction is his intel-
lectual life history, naming the contributions he has made to understanding
educational experience. Through his portraits of educational experience as
lived— encompassing study as the center of educational experience, his con-
ceptions of disciplinarity and internationalization, reactivating the past to fi nd
the future, the gendering and racialization of U.S. school reform, the technol-
ogization of education, and the educational project of subjective and social
reconstruction—Pinar threads the relations among knowledge, history, and
alterity.
William F. Pinar is Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of
British Columbia. He has also served as the St. Bernard Parish Alumni Endowed
Professor at Louisiana State University, the Frank Talbott Professor at the
University of Virginia, and the A. Lindsay O’Connor Professor of American
Institutions at Colgate University. The former President of the International
Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies and the founder of
its U.S. affi liate, the American Association for the Advancement of Curricu-
lum Studies, Pinar received, in 2000, the LSU Distinguished Faculty Award
and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Educational Research
Association.
