Biography
Elizabeth Rata is a sociologist of education and a professor in the School of Critical Studies in Education at the Faculty of Education, The University of Auckland. She is Director of the Knowledge in Education Research Unit (KERU) where she led the Knowledge-Rich School Project, 2018-2021. This Project used her Curriculum Design Coherence Model for teachers in their course design, in professional development programmes, and in pre-service teacher education. she is currently editing the Research Handbook on Curricula and Education for Edward Elgar Publications.
Her post-PhD research was into the effects of ethnic politics on educational change. This work provided the foundation for her most recent research about the importance of academic knowledge in the school curriculum. She is committed to ensuring that all students, no matter what their background, have the opportunity to succeed at school. Her research criticises the current commitment in New Zealand education to student-led learning, innovative learning environments, the emphasis on teachers as facilitators, and most importantly, the 'cultural turn' in education. This has seen culturally responsive pedagogies and a cultural curriculum replacing universally produced knowledge and direct instruction by expert teachers.
She was a Senior Fulbright Scholar to Georgetown University, Washington, DC in 2003. Her major books are: A Political Economy of Neotribal Capitalism, 2000, and The Politics of Knowledge in Education, 2012. She publishes in international journals such as Review of Education, Anthropological Theory, The Curriculum Journal, Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, Critique of Anthropology, Educational Philosophy and Theory, New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, and the British Educational Research Journal with disciplinary connections to sociology, anthropology, philosophy,and political science. She has supervised over 40 Masters and PhD students in a range of areas including Māori education, higher education, curriculum studies, education policy, and the history of education.

KNOWLEDGE IN EDUCATION
DESCRIPTION
My research into knowledge in education is undertaken with colleagues in the Knowledge in Education Research Unit (KERU). KERU is a cross-Faculty Research Unit located in the School of Critical Studies (CRSTIE) in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland. I established KERU in 2010 following the visit to the School by that year’s Hood Fellow, Professor Michael Young. KERU members attend the Knowledge in Education (KiE) symposia held biennially at Jesus College, Cambridge University.

THE KNOWLEDGE-RICH SCHOOL PROJECT
In 2018, KERU established the Knowledge-Rich School Project to trial my Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model). In New Zealand the Project involves primary and secondary schools with a kura kaupapa Maori joining in 2020. Initial findings show that the CDC Model is a successful design tool for teachers. It is used to design courses within a school year as well as across the years' programmes in all school subjects, for example, primary writing programmes, Maths, English, Religious Studies, Music, Science, Social Studies and History. The Project was joined in 2019 by Sheffield Hallam University’s School of Education, led by Dr Richard Pountney,in conjunction with Keele and North Staffordshire Teacher Education KNSTE, led by Diane Swift.

KNOWLEDGE AND DEMOCRACY
My major ongoing theoretical inquiry is about the connection between the type of knowledge taught in education systems like New Zealand’s and the viability of democracy in the 21st century. It has long been assumed that educated people will be committed to democratic principles such as equality and justice and to the institutions which safeguard these principles. However, the emergence of populism and authoritarian governments around the world suggests that we can no longer assume the strength of democracy nor its inevitability as the political system for the future. What then does this new world hold for New Zealand? What can our education do to ensure that democracy remains strong in this country? My research examines the type of knowledge taught at school and how it is taught. I ask how this knowledge and the type of thinking it develops affects young people who have the ability and the desire to be democratic citizens.
The publications for this Project are:

THE POLITICS OF ETHNICITY IN EDUCATION
This Project continues my long-term research into the ways in which the ethnic politics of the post-1970s’ decades have influenced education. More recently I have examined the localisation of the curriculum and pedagogy with examples from New Zealand. The project has involved fruitful collaborations with colleagues and masters and doctoral students over the years leading to the following publications.
