Public education is suffering attacks that are well funded and extraordinarily complex and multifaceted. These conditions make it difficult for educators and citizens to gather the information they need to mount meaningful resistance, especially since mainstream media tends to be uncritically supportive of neoliberal reforms. The Orwellian language of reforms is adopted and promoted through news outlets, politicians, and film; thus, arguments against these reforms must bubble up through social media and alternative outlets. By providing a coherent, comprehensive description of contemporary...

The volume also reveals how education faculty can engage in collaborative scholarly work to investigate the anticipated and unanticipated effects of...

English Language Arts offers both undergraduates and starting-graduate students in education an introduction to the connections that exist between language arts and a critical orientation to education. Applying critical and theoretical perspectives to teaching English language arts, Julie Gorlewski considers how meanings are made in intersecting spaces of learners, teachers, and texts. The book also reveals both the inherently political nature of teaching and the essential possibilities of transformation that exist in the praxis of theory and practice.
