"Teaching Toward Democracy" examines the contested space of
schooling and school reform with a focus on the unique challenges
and opportunities that teaching in a democratic society provides.
Teaching in and for democracy involves developing particular
qualities of mind that teachers explore and work to develop as they
become more effective educators. Some chapters open with familiar
experiences in the lives of teachers in schools (working with
parents and communities, or dealing with classroom discipline and
management) and illuminate that commonplace in new, helpful, and
sometimes startling, ways. Other chapters present possible
interventions any teacher might make in any classroom for example,
using the arts as an organizing center and metaphor for teaching
more generally, or rethinking the press of politics on our every
day practice. This book foregrounds the central idea that
democratic ideals are a necessary starting point and context in
which to enact our teaching here and now.

Chapters are written in the spirit of notes, conversations and
letters the nationally recognized team of authors wish they
received in their journeys into teaching. Building on the
conversational and accessible approach, this revised edition
includes additional dialogues amongst the authors to further
explore how they have individually and collectively reflected on
the qualities of mind that teachers explore and work to develop as
they become more effective educators. Inspiring and uplifting,
Teaching Toward Democracy adds to the repertoire of skills teachers
can access in their classrooms and encourages the confidence to
locate themselves within the noble tradition of teaching as
democratic work.
In this landmark work, four of the world's leading
scholar-activists issue an urgent call for a truly intersectional,
internationalist, abolitionist feminism. As a politics and as a
practice, abolitionism has increasingly shaped our political
moment, amplified through the worldwide protests following the 2020
murder of George Floyd by a uniformed police officer. It is at the
heart of the Black Lives Matter movement, in its demands for police
defunding and demilitarisation, and a halt to prison construction.
And it is there in the outrage which greeted the brutal treatment
of women by police at the 2021 Clapham Common vigil for Sarah
Everard. As this book shows, abolitionism and feminism stand
shoulder-to-shoulder in fighting a common cause: the end of the
carceral state, with its key role in perpetuating violence, both
public and private, in prisons, in police forces, and in people's
homes. Abolitionist theories and practices are at their most
compelling when they are feminist; and a feminism that is also
abolitionist is the most inclusive and persuasive version of
feminism for these times. Abolition. Feminism. Now! 'This
extraordinary book makes the most compelling case I've ever seen
for the indivisibility of feminism and abolition' Robin D. G.
Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
'Attentive to histories of organising that are too quickly erased,
and alive to new possibilities for working collectively in the
present time, this book is as capacious and demanding as the
abolitionist feminism it calls for' Sara Ahmed, author of Willful
Subjects
As this book documents local, specific, and contextualized acts of
resistance and offers a detailed analysis of varied forms of public
literacies, it functions as a template to inform and inspire
resistant practices in diverse communities.

This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies
Association) Critics Choice Award 2013. With germinal texts, new
writings, and related art, Sexualities in Education: A Reader
illuminates a broad scope of analysis and organization. Composed of
a framing essay and nine sections edited by established and
emerging scholars and addressing critical topics for researchers
and students of sexualities and education, the text provides a
timely overview of sexualities considered through a variety of
educational lenses and theoretical frameworks. Threads woven
throughout include visual, literary, and performing arts; youth
perspectives; and an emphasis on justice work in education. The
volume provides entry points for students and practitioners at a
range of levels. Research-based articles, essays, interviews,
poetry and ready-to-reproduce visual materials from the Americas,
Europe, and Asia are linked to a resource section to facilitate
deep learning, on-going investigation, and informed action.
