Life in Alien Territory
Retired university professor Renate Schulz is looking for something to do with her life, some way to give back. She decides to rejoin the Peace Corps forty-six years after she first served. Life in Alien Territory: Memories of Peace Corps Service in Mali chronicles her eleven months in Mali, West Africa, a predominantly Muslim country. At age seventy-one, she is the oldest Peace Corps volunteer among 180 other Americans. Schulz weaves the highs and lows of her life as a volunteer in Africa into her daily journal entries. Her personal struggles with the challenges of living in third-world conditions, particularly at her age, are woven into her real-life concerns about human rights in West Africa, particularly for women and children. Her time in Mali, with all its challenges and frustrations, are offset with her growing appreciation for this "alien" culture. In this wonderfully readable travel narrative, Schulz captures the spirit of the culture, education, and people of Mali. At the same time, she shows how you are never too old to have a life-changing adventure.
Interpreting Teacher Practice
Interpreting Teacher Practice: Two Continuing Stories presents a longitudinal study of two language arts teachers, exploring their responses to curriculum change, and how a teacher's past influences current practice. In addition, Renate Schulz addresses the important methodological and complex ethical issues involved in teacher/researcher-university/researcher collaboration, including an honest look at some of the resolved and unresolved problems she faced during the project. Especially important is how Schulz applies literary theory to examine how teachers' stories are constructed and interpreted, and how reader response theory can be useful in finding an approach to reading that honors the intentions of collaborative inquiry and is consonant with the principles of the ethic of caring.
