Madeleine R. Grumet is a professor in the School of Education and in the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. In the School of Education, she currently teaches courses in curriculum theory in the Culture, Curriculum and Change Program and the Curriculum and Instruction Program. In the Department of Communication Studies, she teaches courses in performance studies. In 1998, Grumet joined Carolina’s faculty as dean of the School of Education, a position she previously held in the School of Education at Brooklyn College, City University of New York. Grumet returned to a full-time faculty position at Carolina in 2003.

Drawing her scholarship from literature and philosophy, Grumet is interested in understanding how society influences what goes on in schools. Grumet’s early work explored the use of autobiographical narratives in the study of educational experience. In Bitter Milk: Women and Teaching, Grumet addressed the influence of gender on knowledge and teaching. Current projects address the arts and their integration into the curriculum of the academic disciplines and analyses of current trends in curriculum theory.
