This volume considers the ways the theoretical orientation of radical sociology of knowledge has led to its marginalization within the larger educational world. Proposing a sociological turn, Ladwig outlines a methodological agenda for constructing an alternative radical sociology of school knowledge that might be persuasive beyond the radical frontier.

Reviews for Academic Distinctions: Theory and Methodology in the Sociology of School Knowledge

[Ladwig] distinguishes several different tendencies within the 'radical sociology of school knowledge' and suggests their common theoretical and methodological limitations, most notably a marginalizing reliance on non-scientific rhetoric and a reluctance to use available empirical research methods. -- David Livingstone, Curriculum Inquiry
