Description

Knowledge and Knowers presents a groundbreaking theoretical framework for understanding how knowledge operates within educational systems and society. Rather than treating knowledge as a neutral, homogeneous entity, this book develops Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) to reveal the complex practices that shape what counts as knowledge and who has the authority to define it. By synthesizing the influential contributions of Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein, the work offers researchers and educators a practical analytical toolkit for examining knowledge in context. The text addresses a critical gap in educational research by moving beyond process-focused studies to examine knowledge itself, without falling into essentialist traps. This realist sociology approach transforms how we understand knowledge economies, knowledge societies, and the role of education in reproducing or challenging social inequalities. Essential reading for scholars, researchers, and educators seeking to understand the relationship between knowledge, power, and educational practice.
