Popular representations of teachers and teaching are easy to take
for granted precisely because they are so accessible and pervasive.
Our lives are intertextual in the way lived experiences overlap
with the stories of others presented to us through mass media. It
is this set of connected narratives that we bring into classrooms
and into discussions of educational policy. In this day and
time-with public education under siege by forces eager to
deprofessionalize teaching and transfer public funds to benefit
private enterprises-we ignore the dominant discourse about
education and the patterns of representation that typify educator
characters at our peril. This edited volume offers a fresh take on
educator characters in popular culture and also includes important
essays about media texts that have not been addressed adequately in
the literature previously. The 15 chapters cover diverse forms from
literary classics to iconic teacher movies to popular television to
rock 'n' roll. Topics explored include pedagogy through the lenses
of gender, sexuality, race, disability, politics, narrative
archetypes, curriculum, teaching strategies, and liberatory praxis.
The various perspectives represented in this volume come from
scholars and practitioners of education at all levels of schooling.
This book is especially timely in an era when public education in
the United States is under assault from conservative political
forces and undervalued by the general public. Contributors are:
Steve Benton, Naeemah Clark, Kristy Liles Crawley, Elizabeth
Currin, Mary M. Dalton, Jill Ewing Flynn, Chad E. Harris, Gary
Kenton, Mark A. Lewis, Ian Parker Renga, Stephanie Schroeder,
Roslin Smith, Jeff Spanke, and Andrew Wirth.
