Teaching Double Negatives: Disadvantage and Dissent at Community College is an insightful collection that problematizes the assumptions of instructors and powerfully engages the intersectionality of students, appealing the readers across the educational spectrum.

Recenzje

"This ambitious collection of essays was a very powerful read for me as both a teacher and a scholar-brimming with depth, insight, and empathy. Robert Cowan's engagement with his students and with provocative literary and philosophical texts is a call to action for critical educators, and a testament to the complexity of the diverse student populations served by many urban community colleges. After reading, I continue to ponder over the layered probing of humanism and posthumanism, literary analyses embodied in service learning and social action, and the challenge to 'use the past to rein in the present in the service of the future.'" -Limarys Caraballo, Associate Professor of English Education, Queens College & The Graduate Center, CUNY
