In "Rethinking Academic Politics in (Re)Unified Germany and the
United States," Dr. John Weaver uses case studies to engage
historical and contemporary issues in academic politics, arguing
for the importance of this often-dismissed and much-bemoaned facet
of academic work. Dr. Weaver's unique treatment includes
discussions of such hotly debated issues as the Enola Gay exhibit,
the science debates in the U.S., and the politics of academic
evaluations and hiring practices. Rethinking Academic Politics in
(Re)Unified Germany and the United States speaks to the interests
of students and scholars of international and comparative
education, higher education policy and practice, cultural studies,
and science studies.
This collection attempts to incorporate cultural studies into the
understanding of schooling, not simply addressing how students read
themselves as "members" of a distinct culture, but how they, along
with teachers and administrators, read popular texts in general.
The purpose of this book is to suggest some alternative directions
critical pedagogy can take in its critique of popular culture by
inviting multiple reading of popular texts into its analysis of
schooling and seeing many forms of popular culture as critical
pedagogical texts.

In this book John A. Weaver suggests curriculum studies scholars
need to engage more in science matters. It offers a review of
science studies writing from Ludwick Fleck and Thomas Kuhn to
Philip Mirowski. The volume includes chapters on the rhetoric of
science with a focus on the history of rhetoric and economics then
on the rhetoric of models, statistics, and data, a critique of
neoliberalism and its impact on science policy and the foundations
of democracy, Harry Collin's and Robert Evans' theory of expertise
followed by chapters on feminism with a focus on the work of Sharon
Traweek, Karen Barad, and Vinciane Despret, postcolonial thought,
with attention paid to the work of Daniela Bleichmar, Londa
Schiebinger, Judith Carney, Sylvia Wynter, Paul Gilroy, and Sandra
Harding, and a final chapter on Nietzsche's philosophy of science.
Each section is introduced by an interlude drawing on
autobiographical connections between curriculum studies and science
studies.
