The Critical Lens: Power: Deconstructing Inequity

Volume 6 of the Pedagogy of Research Series -- Mastering Educational Research


Why do some children consistently fail in schools designed to help all children succeed? Why do certain languages disappear from classrooms? Why does educational funding rarely reach the communities that need it most? These are not innocent questions. They are the questions of the critical paradigm -- the most politically honest and transformatively powerful lens in educational research.


The Critical Lens: Power: Deconstructing Inequity is Volume 6 of The Pedagogy of Research Series by Dr. Bismi Sainudeen. Designed for student teachers, teacher educators, B.Ed. and M.Ed. candidates, doctoral researchers, and practising educators across India and beyond, this 124-page volume equips readers to examine education not as a neutral transmission of knowledge but as a deeply political, historically embedded, and structurally unequal enterprise.


What you will find inside:



  • The foundational frameworks of the critical paradigm -- Marx, Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Bourdieu, and Freire -- explained through vivid Indian classroom examples

  • Six structures of educational inequity examined in depth: the hidden curriculum, caste and race, class and cultural capital, gender, language hierarchy, and disability

  • Critical analysis of Indian educational policy -- including a rigorous reading of NEP 2020 -- as ideology, not neutral administration

  • Five research methodologies of the critical lens: Critical Ethnography, Critical Discourse Analysis, Participatory Action Research, Feminist Research, and Queer Theory

  • A complete research design workshop, from formulating a critical research question to writing for social impact

  • Extended deep-dive chapters on Bourdieu, Gramsci, intersectionality, language policy, and the politics of assessment

  • Chapter review materials, reflection questions, research exercises, and case studies -- all anchored in the Indian educational context

  • Sample research instruments: interview guides, document analysis frameworks, and a PAR process guide


Every concept in this book is illustrated with concrete Indian examples: from NEET and JEE cultural bias, to mid-day meal caste segregation, to Macaulay's colonial education project, to Adivasi language exclusion, to NEP 2020 discourse analysis. This is not abstract theory. It is a toolkit for seeing -- and changing -- Indian education.


Part of the Pedagogy of Research Series -- eight volumes that together constitute a complete, systematic, and deeply practical guide to educational research methodology for the Indian context.


Dr. Bismi Sainudeen holds a Ph.D. in Education and is the author of over 38 published works spanning teacher education, English language pedagogy, artificial intelligence in education, and the history of literature in English.
