This edited volume serves as a place for teachers and scholars to
begin seeking ways in which popular culture has been effectively
tapped for research and teaching purposes around the country. The
contents of the book came together in a way that allowed for a
detailed examination of teaching with popular culture on many
levels. The first part allows teachers in PreK-12 schools the
opportunity to share their successful practices. The second part
affords the same opportunity to teachers in community colleges and
university settings. The third part shows the impact of US popular
culture in classrooms around the world. The fourth part closes the
loop, to some extent, showing how universities can prepare teachers
to use popular culture with their future PreK-12 students. The
final part of the book allows researchers to discuss the impact
popular culture plays in their work. It also seeks to address a
shortcoming in the field; while there are outlets to publish
studies of popular culture, and outlets to publish
pedagogical/practitioner pieces, there is no outlet to publish
practitioner pieces on studying popular culture, in spite of the
increased popularity and legitimacy of the field.
