Footprints and Marks on the Intellectual History of Curriculum Studies in Mexico: Looking toward the Second Decade of the Twenty-First Century

  • Chapter
Curriculum Studies in Mexico

Part of the book series: International and Development Education ((INTDE))

Abstract

Today is November 1, 2008; exactly ten years ago I found myself in the house of Stephen and Maria2 in Wivenhoe, County of Essex in England. That day I finished writing the prologue for the Spanish version of the book Revolutionary Multiculturalism by Peter McLaren. Concerning this paper, I had just received an answer from William Pinar. He told me that the paper he is asking for is about the intellectual history of the curriculum field in Mexico, where it would be advisable for me to incorporate elements from an Internet interview that was conducted months ago. It was a biographical type of interview where the questions led me to link elements from my personal history with the constitution, development, consolidation, and crisis of the curriculum field in Mexico.

Titular researcher from the Research Institute for Universities and Education (IISUE) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Member of the National System of Researchers (SNI) from the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) of Mexico.
