The two quotes below summarize Dr. Lopez Schubert’s passion:

We decided to begin to collectively remember a person: Ann Lynn Lopez Schubert (1952-2006) ... who was an extraordinary woman who epitomized the idea of keeping the curriculum questions alive; she contributed to the field through her writing, theorizing, and mindwork associated with the big curriculum questions (Brian D. Schultz & Nikoletta Christodoulou, Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy).

What a remarkable mind Ann Lynn Lopez Schubert was: original, creative, courageous, always committed to keep the curriculum question alive. Working alone and in intellectual partnership with her husband, William H. Schubert, Ann Lynn Lopez Schubert left a legacy of lasting contributions in several areas of curriculum studies, among them curriculum history, theory, and practice. In addition, Lopez Schubert drew upon a wide range of noncurriculum literatures for curricular and pedagogical insights: feminism, children’s literature, music, art, dance, peace studies, nutrition and health, studies of race and ethnicity, child rearing, philosophy, history, political science, and ecology (William F. Pinar, Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy).
