Understanding Curriculum
Perhaps not since Ralph Tyler's (1949) Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction has a book communicated the field as completely as Understanding Curriculum. From historical discourses to breaking developments in feminist, poststructuralist, and racial theory, including chapters on political theory, phenomenology, aesthetics, theology, international developments, and a lengthy chapter on institutional concerns, the American curriculum field is here. It will be an indispensable textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses alike.
Sexuality and the Curriculum
Sexuality and the Curriculum brings together curriculum scholars and developers with sexuality educators and sex equity specialists to explore the explicit and hidden curriculum of sexuality from kindergarten through college. This collection of 15 interrelated essays challenges conventional assumptions regarding sexuality and the curriculum while proposing specific curricular strategies and alternatives. Contributors include Mariamne Whatley, Tony Whitson, Michelle Fine, Eleanor Linn, Louise Berman, Sue Klein, Patricia Koch, Charol Shakeshaft, Bonnie Trudell, and Jonathan Silin. Though the authors do not represent a singular theoretical voice, the book challenges conventional sexual discourse and curriculum design by applying nontraditional perspectives to traditionally unresolved problems. Among the book's points are its multicultural emphasis and its integration of curriculum theory into sexuality education practice.
