The Critical Graduate Experience is a collection of scholarly
reflections on the possibilities of a new vision for critical
studies. It is a remarkable book that provides daring analyses from
the vantage of the graduate student experience. Drawing from
individual knowledge and research, the authors invite you to
re-imagine education for justice. Barry Kanpol opens the work with
a brilliant meditation on joy and cynicism in university classrooms
and educational theory. The book continues to unfold as an open and
honest conversation with doctoral students and recent graduates
concerning the ethics of higher education. In a true critical
approach, each chapter problematizes a new facet of academic
assumptions and practices as they touch the lives of students. The
authors explore the ethical implications of acknowledging student
spirituality and expanding the role of critical education studies.
The book concludes with a transparent self-critique on the process
and ethics of graduate students writing for publication. This is a
wonderful text, guiding students and professors as they enter into
dialogue on the ethics of an authentic critical education studies.

voice, collaborative publishing, and critical pedagogy could
benefit from the insights offered here. Daring to believe that
student experience and knowledge have a place in the world of
academic publishing, this book is both a prophetic proclamation of
and humble invitation to a new future in the field.
And This Little Piggy Had None: Challenging the Dominant Discourse
on Farmed Animals in Children's Picturebooks is a fascinating
critique of how "farm" animals are represented in children's
literature. Drawing from the fields of critical animal studies,
critical discourse analysis, and animal behavior research, Janae
Dimick questions the validity of these representations as
environmental, societal, and other negative effects related to
factory farming emerge. Questioning the socially constructed
categories that humans use to classify which animals are used for
consumption and which are meant for companionship, the book works
to dismantle the "truth" of what children learn from the
informational texts that are read to them in educational and home
settings. The first of its kind, this book will make readers
question their relationship with nonhuman animals and rethink how
language creates narratives that ultimately act to the detriment of
humans, nature, and animals. Students studying critical pedagogy,
ecolinguistics, ecopedagogy, early childhood literacy,
ecocriticism, bioethics, critical animal studies, environmental
studies and education, and human-animal studies would benefit from
reading this easily accessible text.
