Cultural Studies of Science Education

Volume 3

Series Editors
KENNETH TOBIN, City University of New York, USA
CATHERINE MILNE, New York University, USA

The series is unique in focusing on the publication of scholarly works that employ social and
cultural perspectives as foundations for research and other scholarly activities in the three
fields implied in its title: science education, education, and social studies of science.

The aim of the series is to establish bridges to related fields, such as those concerned with the
social studies of science, public understanding of science, science/technology and human
values, or science and literacy. Cultural Studies of Science Education, the book series explic-
itly aims at establishing such bridges and at building new communities at the interface of
currently distinct discourses. In this way, the current almost exclusive focus on science edu-
cation on school learning would be expanded becoming instead a focus on science education
as a cultural, cross-age, cross-class, and cross-disciplinary phenomenon.
The book series is conceived as a parallel to the journal Cultural Studies of Science Education,
opening up avenues for publishing works that do not fit into the limited amount of space and
topics that can be covered within the same text.
