Abstract

This chapter discusses the CTP within a larger historical framework of curriculum work undertaken over the past 60 years in order to examine the practices which have sustained this type of curricular vitality. The field of Curriculum Theory emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s as part of a radical shift in education that challenged dominant ideologies of education grounded in technocratic, modernist views of education. The presentations were great but what was unique about these travels with CTP alums was the time at the pub, at the coffee house, at the reception, and in each other’s living rooms – time spent practicing presentations and job talks as well as arguing philosophical commitments and existential truths. The practice of curriculum theorizing explored includes that which is illuminated via reflection upon the lived experiences and articulated memories of those who have participated in the project.
