This bibliography has been composed based on the consultation of the ERIC database (1966-2007) and the
Milbank Library catalogue (Teachers College, Columbia University)1. Since 2002, many references have
been added, based on additional research on the Internet (including commercial websites), in books, or
through personal contacts. The third version of this bibliography has been organized by themes and by
types of sources (chapters, books and documents; papers, journals and conference proceedings). Despite
the fact that this bibliography brings together approximately 450 references it is not an exhaustive one2.
Instead, its purpose is to introduce a broad field of study illustrating its diversity, as it can be observed in
the English-speaking field of education and mainly in the American, Canadian and British field of
education3. From an international perspective, this bibliography can also be a complement to non English-
speaking bibliographies already existing4.
If it appears to you that some other significant references should be added to this list, please feel free to
send them to Michel Alhadeff-Jones (education.critiques@gmail.com) to keep this list updated. Thank you.
