Reviews

"Sometimes ranging from a radical point of view, but always using arguments introduced in clear formulas, After the Disciplines: The Emergence of Cultural Studies remains a collection of well-written texts about the possible intersections of disciplines within humanities, with a strong emphasis on education issues, postmodernism, and cultural studies....[a]cademics in education studies will find here useful elements to understand the numerous issues related to interdisiplinary and transdisciplinarity in many fields. Hencemore, the authors raise many fundamental questions about the autonomy of future universities."-Educational Studies
