Editorial - Curriculum matters in an extraordinary year

This year, 2020, has been an extraordinary year. It has seen the escalation of COVID-19 to global pandemic status, the Black Lives Matter movement, the Aotearoa New Zealand election in October (delayed by a month due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and the US Presidential election in November. These events highlight a range of issues that are of potential interest to curriculum researchers and scholars and provide fruitful areas for ongoing curriculum research and exploration.
