William Pinar
William Frederick Pinar (born 1947) is an American pedagogue. Known for his work in the area of curriculum theory, Pinar is strongly associated with the reconceptualist movement in curriculum theory since the early 1970s. In the early 1970s, along with Madeleine Grumet, Pinar introduced the notion of currere, shifting in a radical manner the notion of ''curriculum'' as a noun to ''curriculum'' as a verb. Apart from his fundamental contributions to theory, Pinar is notable for establishing the ''Journal of Curriculum Theorizing'', founding the Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theory and Classroom Practice, and founding the International Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies. Although Pinar is known best for his publications concerning curriculum theory, he has also spoken about and written on many other topics, including education, cultural studies, international studies, and queer studies.
