This anthology explores life writing as a mode of educational
inquiry, one where students and teachers may get a "heart of
wisdom" as they struggle with the tensions and complexities of
learning and teaching in challenging contemporary circumstances.
Contributors write first-person creative non-fiction in a variety
of life-writing genres, such as memoir, poetry, personal essay, and
various blended genres. Four sections entitled Memory Work, Place
Work, Curriculum Work, and Social Work explore the struggles and
joys of pedagogy where relationships are at the heart of teaching
and learning. The essays address questions such as: What critical
moments in learning and teaching change lives? What stories need to
be told? What questions ache to be asked?
This book introduces literary metissage as a way to research,
teach, and live ethically «with all our relations in our precarious
times. The authors theorize and perform literary metissage through
the praxis of life writing, braiding their autobiographical texts,
in various (mixed) genres, into seven themes. Life Writing and
Literary Metissage as an Ethos for Our Times explores this writing
praxis, with its more inclusive and generative notions of knowledge
and knowledge practices, as a tool for creating more just societies
and schools.
