Philosophy for Girls
This revolutionary book empowers its readers by exploring enduring, challenging, and timely philosophical issues in new essays written by expert women philosophers. The book will inspire and entice these philosophers' younger counterparts, curious readers of all genders, and all who support equity in philosophy. If asked to envision a philosopher, people might imagine a bearded man, probably Greek, perhaps in a toga, pontificating about abstract ideas. Or they might think of that same man in the Enlightenment, gripping a quill pen and pouring universal truths onto a page. They may even call to mind a much more modern man, wearing a black sweater and smoking a cigarette in a Paris café, expr...
What Do We Mean by That?
What Do We Mean by That?: Interrogating Familiar Expressions in Education is a collection of essays that opens a space for all educational workers—teachers, teacher educators, administrators, politicians, and others—to unpack commonly used educational phrases and ideas. The idea is to carefully examine what we say to one another when we talk about schools, curriculum, students, and other educational problems or issues—when we say things like “We have to meet students where they are,” and “All children can learn,” or “What does the data say?” What Do We Mean by That? challenges and clarifies such phrases and the how, and why, that they shape educational policies and practice...
Critical Memetic Literacies in English Education
This edited collection introduces English and literacy educators to the theoretical, research-based, and practical dimensions of using digital memetic texts—“memes”—in the classroom. Digital memetic texts come with new affordances, particularly as avenues for student creativity, voice, and advocacy. But these texts can also be put to manipulative, propagandistic, and nefarious purposes, posing critical challenges to an informed, democratic citizenry. Grounded in multimodality and critical literacy, this book investigates the fascinating digital dimension of texts, audiences, and meaning, and considers how English educators might take up these conversations in practical ways with students. With authentic examples from teachers and students, this volume provides a road map to researchers and educators—both preservice and in-service—interested in critical and productive uses of these modern phenomena.
Place-Based Writing in Action
This text presents a variety of ways for students to meet traditional instructional goals in writing while also learning how writing can help them become stewards of the natural world and advocates for their own communities. Built on a foundation of emerging research and theory and grounded in the lived reality of teachers, this book explores the material and virtual worlds as places that can be equally productive as sources for authentic writing. Readers will find place-based writing activities, lesson ideas, and samples of student work in every chapter. With practical and classroom-tested ideas, Place-Based Writing in Action is a useful text for preservice and in-service English teachers, as well as any educator who wants to move the act of writing beyond the four walls of the classroom.
Family Storytelling as Authentic Pedagogy
Family Storytelling as Authentic Pedagogy explores the use of family storytelling as a culturally responsible pedagogy for teacher candidates. Drawing on insights from a 10-year storytelling project utilizing the Chautauqua form of storytelling, it documents and describes a writing workshop process from the perspectives of teacher candidates acting in the role of storytelling and literacy coaches. It thereby showcases how Chautauqua storytelling can be used as an effective pedagogic strategy to recognize, value, and validate students’ lived experiences and advocates the teaching of Language Arts as experiential and authentic learning, which draws from the multicultural and multilingual perspectives of students. Serving as a resource for both researchers and pre- and in-service educators, it will appeal to scholars and practitioners with interests in literacy education, culturally responsive pedagogy, culturally relevant pedagogy, culturally sustaining pedagogy, critical pedagogy, critical race theory, liberatory pedagogy, storytelling arts, and Language Arts.
