Description
Rethinks some of the most basic assumptions of higher education. There is a focus on critical theory and the belief that education can be a transformative activity that creates conditions for empowerment. Within the framework of this book, a number of chapters deal with how those in power insert their ideas into academe. Other chapters uncover a politics of hope, and of possibility. The book is not a definitive statement but rather an initial comment to encourage discussion. Those studying curriculum and instruction, as well as all faculty, administrators, and researchers in higher education will find this book a comprehensive resource.--From Amazon
