Science Education as/for Sociopolitical Action is about alternative ways of looking at science education. Rather than focusing on the transfer or construction of knowledge, the authors focus on the role of science education as a starting point for engaging students in social action.

The authors provide concrete descriptions for curriculum design, or how an alternative curriculum design has worked in practice. This book shows that science education can be radically...

Examining Social Theory: Crossing Borders/Reflecting Back
ISBN: 9781433104794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This collection of essays introduces multiple social theories through discussions of ideas across national borders. In each of the nine sections, the first chapter introduces a theory in a context outside of the United States. The second chapter then responds to the first by refocusing the discussion inside the United States. It has long been understood that it is difficult to perceive one s own context as contingent on culture and history, thus, exploring social phenomena in a different context assists in perceiving the dynamics at play. Ultimately, though, social theory should be used to...

ISBN: 9781433124594 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Neoliberal capitalism has paved the way to educational catastrophe. It has also opened paths for politically productive and transformative forms of localized resistance(s). This book examines the perilous catastrophe before us, and the possibility that we can reclaim our rights as citizens and redefine democracy as a process for global good rather than a euphemism for our collective enslavement to global markets, which annihilate our souls. The authors analyze the -crisis- in U.S. urban education through visceral narratives of social control while resisting the tendency to make the United...

Urban Schools: The New Social Spaces of Resistance
ISBN: 9780820440484 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Urban Schools documents the quality of resistance and identity politics in relation to both the formal and hidden curricula of urban schools, their pedagogical practices, and their administrative norms and policies. Building on the notion that the study of -marginality- is equally as important as an understanding of the school s structural connections to the wider society, Mickey Lauria and Luis F. Miron demonstrate how resistance is much more than a random series of psychological events. Indeed, within the social context of the formation of racial and ethnic identity in schools in New...

Qualitative Research: A Reader in Philosophy, Core Concepts, and Practice
ISBN: 9781433104732 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 521 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. We conceived of this book with the idea that critical explorations into the key philosophical issues in qualitative research could throw light on distortions, power relations, hidden assumptions and possibilities within the field, and could ultimately provide the groundwork for needed change and new directions. We wanted to do this with rigor, getting underneath the contemporary divisions in qualitative research, first building up philosophy and core concepts and then returning to specific practices in qualitative research. The book, in a way, then, is a statement of hope.

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-. In our understandable rush to ameliorate suffering at every turn and to consider every instance of it as an error to be avoided at all costs, we explore how the pedagogy that can come from suffering becomes obscured and something vital to a rich and vibrant pedagogy can be lost. This collection threads through...

Black Sons to Mothers is the critical site where African American male scholars explore the meanings and connections of the lives of black boys/men. This book offers literary, scholarly, and personal space to interrogate the seemingly elusive intersection of race and gender. Each chapter in the book is offered in one of two voices one that speaks to teachers as cultural workers and one that represents individual transformation into the cultural space of mothering. This book s intent is to both question black men s constructions as sons (cultural offspring) and to engage in the project...

Critical Pedagogy: Where Are We Now?
ISBN: 9780820481470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Our educational system is in turmoil. Many would argue that it has been assaulted and oversimplified by the right. There is growing concern that we are becoming a liberal nation-state with an increasingly anti-liberal population and an electorate that is disinterested in politics. In this globalized world, the power of capital is so great that opposition to it is often discouraged and disheartened, leaving many citizens few political precepts by which to consider their institutions. This contemporary failure of vision has opened the way for the unimpeded return of the philosophy of the free...
