Reel Education is the first single-authored book to bring together
the theoretical and practical considerations of teaching cinematic
texts about education that claim a degree of verisimilitude. Given
the recent influx of documentaries, biopics, and reality television
shows about education, new theoretical frameworks are required to
understand how these productions shape public conversations about
educational issues. Such texts, with their claims to represent
real-life experiences, have a particular power to sway audiences
who may uncritically accept these stories as offering "the truth"
about what happens in schools. Since all texts, whatever their
truth-claims may be, are grounded in specific ideologies, those in
the fields of humanities, education, and media and communication
studies must pay attention to how these films and television shows
are constructed and for what purposes. This book provides an
analysis of documentaries, biopics, and reality television,
examining the construction of the genres, the explicit and latent
ideologies they contain, and the ways in which students and faculty
might critically engage with them in classrooms.
