Thomas S. Popkewitz
Thomas S. Popkewitz (born August 16, 1940) is a professor in the department of curriculum and instruction,
University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Education, US. His studies explore historically and contemporary education as practices of making different kinds of people (e.g., the citizen, the learner, the child left behind) that distribute differences (e.g., the achievement gap). He has written or edited approximately 40 books and 300 articles in journals and book chapters translated into 17 languages. Recent studies focus on the comparative reason of educational research as cartographies and architectures that produce phantasmagrams of societies, population and differences. The studies entail theoretical, discursive, ethnography, and historical studies that explore school, professional identities, and the relation to conceptions of differences inscribed childhood, learning and cultural differences.
