Scope
Bold Visions in Educational Research was co-founded by Joe L Kincheloe and
Kenneth Tobin for the purposes of publishing cutting edge research that incorporated
incisive insights supported by rich theoretical frameworks. The editors stance was
that scholars with bold visions would pave the way for the transformation of
educational policies and practices. In conjunction with this idea of encouraging
theoretically rich research, the editors planned a series of Pioneers—first readers in
a given field. Pioneers are written for educators seeking entry into a field of study.
Each Pioneer is a “starter”; an introduction to an area of scholarship, providing
well-developed, theory-rich, jargon-free texts about current, state-of-the-art research
that affords deep understandings of an area and lays the foundation for further
studies in the same and related areas. The books are excellent texts for graduate
studies, useful resources for professional development programs, and handy
reference readers for early career researchers.
