摘要:Janez Krek: Dear colleagues and distinguished participants, all very welcome. Michael W. Apple is the Professor of Curriculum and Instruction Theories and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin, USA. In his research, he focuses on the critical analysis of the relationships between knowledge and power in schools and in society, and on the issues of the democratisation of educational policies and practices. As early as in the second half of the 1970s, he established himself globally with his critical theory, and is one of the most cited authors in the field. He received numerous high awards at home and abroad for his work. His monographs Ideology and Curriculum (Routledge 1979) and Official Knowledge (Routledge, 1993) are included in the international list of the most essential books in the field of educational science of the 20th century and, with his entire opus, he is ranked among the fifty most influential contempo-rary authors in this field. Michael W. Apple’s findings have not only become internationally acclaimed, but have also, in the last three decades, become part of the knowledge that we impart to students in certain subjects of fundamental education studies at our faculty. Michael W. Apple has also served as a member of the editorial board of the CEPS Journal since its founding. We are very glad that the University of Ljubljana has awarded him an honorary doctorate today.Dear colleague and distinguished professor Michael Apple, we are very privileged to have you here with us and to discuss with you about your theoretical work. However, before that, I would like to ask you to begin with some words about yourself and your life experiences which seem to be very connected with your en-gagement in education
