Popular Culture, Educational Discourse, and Mathematics
This ground-breaking book analyzes contemporary education discourse in the light of curriculum politics and popular culture, using sources ranging from academic scholarship to popular magazines, music video, film and television game shows. Mathematics is used as an extreme case, since it is a discipline so easily accepted as separable from politics, ethics or the social construction of knowledge. Appelbaums juxtaposition of popular culture, public debate and professional practice enables an examination of the production and mediation of common sense distinctions between school mathematics and the world outside of schools. Terrain ordinarily displaced or excluded by traditional educ...
Embracing Mathematics
This "alternative textbook" integrates pedagogy and content exploration in ways that are unique in mathematics education, provoking new ideas for making mathematics education meaningful to teachers at all levels as well as their students.
Unauthorized Methods
This work makes accessible and practicable some of the best theoretical innovation in critical pedagogy of the last decade. Issues of knowledge are explored as the authors consider how an integration of popular culture and cultural studies into the lesson plan can enrich and re-invigorate the learning experience. These essays, ranging widely in topic and educational level, are based in theory but are practice-oriented. In translating this theory, the contributors provide educators with techniques which will inform rather than oppress classroom skills.
Popular Culture and Critical Pedagogy
This collection attempts to incorporate cultural studies into the understanding of schooling, not simply addressing how students read themselves as "members" of a distinct culture, but how they, along with teachers and administrators, read popular texts in general. The purpose of this book is to suggest some alternative directions critical pedagogy can take in its critique of popular culture by inviting multiple reading of popular texts into its analysis of schooling and seeing many forms of popular culture as critical pedagogical texts.

Sonic Studies in Educational Foundations
Originally published as a special issue of Educational Studies, this volume demonstrates the ways in which sound considerations can significantly contribute to educational foundations. Regardless of their origin or interpretation, sounds are theoretically and practically foundational to educational experiences. As the means through which knowledges are passed from one person to another, sounds outline the fluid, porous boundaries of educational ecologies. This book draws out and expands upon the already-present sonic metaphors that exist at the center of philosophical and historical foundations of educational studies. Contributions demonstrate the ethical dimensions of this line of inquiry, ...
