A Tribute to Basil Bernstein, 1924-2000

In January 2001 the Institute of Education held a memorial event to celebrate the life and work of Professor Basil Bernstein who was one of its most eminent scholars. This volume is a record of the tributes made on that day. Drawn from scholars around the world and from a range of academic disciplines, the contributions reflect the wide influence of Basil Bernstein's work on sociology in general and sociology of education in particular.
