Anyone who has ever been close to a seriously depressed child has
undoubtedly been affected by the youngster's vulnerability, misery,
and pain. Indeed, it is much like caring for a child who is in
physical pain. For the child in the depths of depression, no
activity is fun, nothing can be enjoyed, and no one can provide
enough consolation or comfort. At times, the youngster may cry or
whimper. There may be fits of defiance or rage and sometimes
withdrawal into a numb, sullen silence. A child in this state tries
the patience of parents and siblings. Remedies of every sort are
tried, including gifts, punishments, bribes, lectures, pleading,
and a host of others. Such efforts occasionally provide temporary
relief, but more often they seem to make matters worse. Commonly,
there is an emotional wall of anger and frustration between a
depressed child and other fumily members that may inevitably lead
to further isolation and withdrawal. If too much time passes
without their being helped, many depressed children and adolescents
come to believe that suicide offers the only real relief for their
pain. Currently, there is a Depression Awareness Week that includes
free screening at participating health and mental health settings
around the United States and is designed to identify depression in
adults, suggesting that society's awareness of depression and
psychiatric disorders is focused to a large extent on adults.
Perhaps not since Ralph Tyler's Basic Principles of Curriculum and
Instruction (1949) has a book communicated the field as completely
as Understanding Curriculum. From historical discourses to breaking
developments in feminist, poststructuralist, and racial theory,
including chapters on political theory, phenomenology, aesthetics,
theology, international developments, and a lengthy chapter on
institutional concerns, the American curriculum field is here. It
will be an indispensable textbook for undergraduate and graduate
courses alike.
Forgotten Places: Critical Studies in Rural Education critically
investigates and informs the construction of the rural, rural
identity and the understanding of the rural internationally. This
book promotes and expands the notion of critical understandings of
rural education, particularly in the areas of race, class, gender,
and LGBTQ, with conceptualizations of social justice. While there
have been many volumes written on critical issues in urban
education, only a small number have been produced on rural
education, and the majority of those are not critical. By contrast,
Forgotten Places not only discusses "schools in the country," but
also expands conceptualizations of the rural beyond schools and
place as well as beyond the borders of the United States. It also
tackles the artificial duality between conceptualizations of urban
and rural. Forgotten Places includes scholarly investigations into
the connections among the symbolic order, various forms of cultural
artifacts and multiple readings of these artifacts within the
context of critical/transformational pedagogy. This book fills a
significant gap in the scholarly work on the ramifications of the
rural.
Expanding Curriculum Theory, Second Edition carries through the
major focus of the original volume-to reflect on the influence of
Deleuze and Guattari's concept of "lines of flight" and its
application to curriculum theorizing. What is different is that the
lines of flight have since shifted and produced expanded
understandings of this concept for curriculum theory and for
education in general. This edition reflects the impact of events
that have contributed to this shift, in particular the (il)logic of
school policy changes and reforms in the past decade, and the
continued explosion of social media and its effect on the
collective understanding of how both "knowledge" and "education"
work as forms of repression. The introduction updates the text and
puts it into current debates in the field and in the larger
socio-economic milieu. New dis/positions are presented that explore
central questions circulating within and outside curriculum
studies. Exciting scholarship on a range of topics includes notions
of desire and commodities, youth culture and violence, new
directions in curriculum theory, Eco-Ethical consciousness, new
Deleuzian views of normality, the diffusion of technology and lines
of flight in transnational curriculum inquiry.
This engaging text examines issues in education and curriculum
theory from multiple critical perspectives. Students are encouraged
to look at education from the "inside" (the complex processes,
methods and relations that operate within schools) and from the
"outside" (the larger social, economic, and political forces that
have affected schools over time). Each essay begins with "Guiding
Questions" and concludes with "Questions for Discussion," "Teachers
as Researchers" activities, and "Suggested Readings."
"Curriculum: A River Runs Through It is a collection of William M.
Reynolds' essays from 1982-2002. These essays explore curriculum
theory from hermeneutics and phenomenology to poststructuralism.
There is a pervasive thematic force that flows through the author's
work: a persistent voice desiring change in the ways we school our
children and conceptualize curriculum. It is a voice that questions
what is taken for granted and does so in a manner rich with
possibilities for those facing the lived experience of schools
every day.
