In this assignment, you will be asked to select an individual theorist in the field of contemporary curriculum studies (I will provide you with a starting list of potential theorists, from which you can certainly expand)( I choose :Mary Aswell Doll), and explore their work in detail.
While you probably won't be able to read everything that your chosen theorist has written, there should definitely be a good indication that you have dealt with their thinking extensively, providing a comprehensive account of their intellectual contributions to the field. While your own papers won't be as lengthy or exhaustive, you can look to the following article of mine as an example: https://jcacs.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/jcacs/article/view/29767.
Some of the questions you may want to pose towards their work are:
• What is her major theoretical preoccupations?
• What are the kinds of questions that her theorizing sets out to explore?
• How does she situate herself within the field of curriculum studies?
• How have her concerns changed over time?
• How have her theories been taken up by others?
