Influential Readers

Educational Review's regular 'Influential Readers' feature comprises short reviews written by current and recent Doctoral Researchers on a book that has greatly influenced their study. Many of these texts are seminal works that have stood the test of time. The reviewers demonstrate their relevance in new times, and in new contexts.

If you are a Doctoral or Early Career Researcher that wishes to contribute to Educational Review as an Influential Reader, please write to the Journal Manager, Dr. Gemma Banks, to suggest a book that has greatly influenced your study. The Book Reviews Editor will then decide which books are suitable for review.
