This volume broadens the horizon of educational research in North
America by introducing a comprehensive dialogue between Eastern and
Western philosophies and perspectives on the subject of curriculum
theory and practice. It is a very timely work in light of the
progressively globalized nature of education and educational
studies and the increasingly widespread attunement to Eastern
educational theories in the West.
By introducing Eastern perspectives, this book questions
taken-for-granted thinking in Western educational thought about the
foundations of teaching and learning, curriculum theory,
educational policy, and educational issues such as teaching for
social justice, service-learning initiatives, human rights and
environmental education, and the teaching of content area subjects.
It provides an important opportunity for scholars from different
countries and different disciplines to establish a solid yet
accessible foundation of East-West inquiry that furthers the scope
and depth of curriculum studies and to disseminate the insights
from this book in the venues in which they work.
Researchers, faculty, and graduate students in the fields of
curriculum theory, curriculum and instruction, educational
foundations, philosophy of education, international/comparative
education, and multicultural educational studies will welcome this
book. It is appropriate as a text for upper-level courses in these
areas.
At the end of a century of unfathomable suffering, societies are
facing anew the question of how events that shock, resist
assimilation, and evoke contradictory and complex responses should
be remembered. Between Hope and Despair specifically examines the
pedagogical problem of how remembrance is to proceed when what is
to be remembered is underscored by a logic difficult to comprehend
and subversive of the humane character of existence. This
pedagogical attention to practices of remembrance reflects the
growing cognizance that hope for a just and compassionate future
lies in the sustained, if troubled, working through of these
issues.
