Curriculum Dynamics within and across Contexts

Stefan Thomas Hopmann's scholarship offers one of the most thorough and insightful examinations of curricular making processes across historical and cultural contexts. His research spans a wide range of research areas and perspectives, including cross-disciplinary reasoning and topical analysis, integrating insights from classical theories to late-modern approaches. This book of Hopmann's collected works offers both broad perspectives, theoretical explorations, and concrete knowledge, making it useful to researchers, students, and practitioners working with curriculum and didactics.

The book presents 19 Essays of Hopmann’s scholarly production and an extended introduction to his work and its academic contribution. The volume is structured into three sections: State-regulated curriculum work: Historical and Comparative Perspectives, Curriculum Coordination Across Social and Cultural Contexts, and Curriculum Constitutive Mindsets.
