“Globalization and Curriculum Inquiry: Performing Transnational Imaginary,” Noel Gough observes that “although much curriculum work continues to take place within national borders (often informed by governmental policies and priorities), processes of economic globalisation are blurring nation-state boundaries and destabilizing national authority in curriculum decision making…” From this observation, Gough encourages us to “examine the impact of globalization on curriculum work in relation to national and international debates on such matters as human rights, social justice, democratization, national, ethnic and religious identities, issues of gender and racial justice, the concerns of indigenous peoples, and poverty and social exclusion.”
Gough ends his chapter in true “postmodern” fashion by declining to impose his own conclusions, leaving it to you, the reader, to reflect critically on his argument and draw your own conclusions.
In this week’s Discussion Board, describe what were, for you, three key takeaways from Gough’s chapter. Draw on the other materials from this week, and from previous weeks if you wish, to discuss your response.
