Grants and Prizes
Routledge Education is delighted to announce that three of its books have been recognised for outstanding achievement by The Society for Educational Studies. The book prizes subcommittee invited submissions from all education publishers and the awards are made for books that are well argued, methodologically impressive and significant.
First prize was awarded to Professor David Gillborn:
Racism and Education
Coincidence or Conspiracy?
By David Gillborn
“David Gillborn's Racism and Education: Coincidence or conspiracy? is not a comfortable read. It is a thought-provoking piece of work which argues that education policy is not helping reduce racism and may add to the challenges that we face in the celebration of diversity and the creation of a tolerant society.”
- Professor Ian Davies, Book Review Editor, British Journal of Educational Studies.
