Essays by some of the world’s leading educators provide a revolutionary portrait of new ideas and developments in education that can influence the possibility of social and political change.
The authors take into account such diverse terrain as feminism, ecology, media, and individual liberty in their pursuit of new ideas that can inform the fundamental practice of education and promote a more humane civil society. The book consolidates recent thinking just as it reflects on emerging new lines of critical theory.

Dorothy M. Figueira: Otherwise Occupied: Pedagogies of Alterity and the Brahminization of Theory (2008)
Filed under book | Tags: · alterity, literary theory, multiculturalism, pedagogy, postcolonialism
“Questions whether current theories and pedagogies of alterity have allowed us truly to engage the Other.
Tracing the historical development of recent identity-based trends in literary theory to their roots in structuralism, Dorothy M. Figueira questions the extent to which theories and pedagogies of alterity have actually enabled us to engage the Other. She tracks academic attempts to deal with alterity from their inception in critical thought in the 1960s to the present. Focusing on multiculturalism and postcolonialism as professional and institutional practices, Figueira examines how such theories and pedagogies informed the academic and public discourse regarding September 11. She also investigates the theories and pedagogies of alterity as crucial elements in the bureaucratization of diversity within academe and discusses their impact on affirmative action.”

Comment (0)Peter Pericles Trifonas (ed.): Revolutionary Pedagogies: Cultural Politics, Education, and Discourse of Theory (2000)
Filed under book | Tags: · cultural politics, education, pedagogy
Revolutionary Pedagogies, an innovative edited collection of essays from the cream of the cultural and policy studies crop, examines the theory/practice debate as it has been articulated pedagogically. These essays respond to the need to renegotiate the premise for an ethico-political intervention into the scene of teaching and learning. The contributors–major theorists and distinguished thinkers–seek to answer the question of whether a revolutionary pedagogy is possible as a means of transforming the cultural history of educational practice. They examine this question across disciplines in the areas of deconstruction, postcolonial and cultural studies, feminism, critical pedagogy, psychoanalysis, and educational and curricular theory.
