In the World Library of Educationalists series, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/or practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself.
Allan Luke’s work on critical literacy, schooling, and equity has influenced the fields of literacy education, teacher education, educational sociology, and policy for over three decades. This volume brings together Allan Luke’s key writings on literacy and schooling. Chapters cover a range of topics and theories, including the development and application of a social and cultural analysis of literacy education and schooling; a primer on literacy as a social construction; classroom-based case studies of literacy teaching and learning; major theoretical and philosophic essays; practical programmatic work on school reform and enabling curriculum policies; and classroom approaches to teaching critical literacy and multiliteracies.
Allan Luke is Emeritus Professor of Education, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia and an Honorary Professor at Beijing Normal University, China.
Luke has written over 300 articles and chapters, reports and monographs, and has undertaken policy work with the governments of Queensland, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Kiribati, Ontario, and the OECD. He has received the Educational Press Association of America Merit Award (1989), the American Educational Research Association Curriculum Studies Book Award (2003) and Distinguished Research Address (2011), membership of the International Reading Association Hall of Fame (2003), the Gold Medal of the Australian College of Education (2005), IBM/Bulletin Australian Educator of the Year (2004), the Australian Literacy Education Association Research Award (2014) and Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award from the Literacy Research Association (2017).
