On the Pedagogy of Suffering: Hermeneutic and Buddhist Meditations
ISBN: 9781433125249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This text articulates how and why suffering can be pedagogical in character and how it is often key to authentic and meaningful acts of teaching and learning. This is an ancient idea from the Greek tragedies of Aeschylus (c. 525 BCE) pathei mathos or -learning through suffering-.

This collection threads through...

Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research; Putting Poststructural Theory to Work
ISBN: 9780820488769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 141 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.
