Thank you to the Editors in Chief of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies for this project: Prof. Ming Fang He, Georgia Southern University; and Prof. William Schubert, University of Illinois at Chicago (emeritus). It was especially interesting to reflect on my own experience of education in India, the colonial legacy, and emergence of alternative curricular in the Indian diaspora.
