cultural studies in relation to curriculum studies  

Definition

  • In relation to curriculum studies, cultural studies refers to a broad, interdisciplinary field of study that serves as a theoretical and methodological framework for understanding how the hidden, null, and overt curricula of formal and informal educational environments contribute to the construction of marginal and/or oppositional identities. Within a cultural studies framework, curriculum is understood as a representational practice or ideological medium through which the power to define and produce knowledge, and hence the horizons within which identity is constructed and made meaningful, is asserted and opposed.
