Key Works In Critical Pedagogy: Joe L. Kincheloe (bold Visions In Educational Research)

"Key Works in Critical Pedagogy: Joe L. Kincheloe comprises sixteen papers written within a twenty-year period in which Kincheloe inspired legions of educators with his incisive analyses of education. Kincheloe was a prolific thinker and writer who produced an enormous number of books and chapters and journal articles. In a career cut short by his untimely death, Kincheloe led the way with an approach to research and pedagogy that incorporated multiperspectival approaches that examined a wide range of topics including schooling, cultural studies, research bricolage, kinderculture, Christotainment, and capitalism. In these works Kincheloe used accessible, elegantly produced language to capture his emotional yet scholarly ways of engaging with the world. He was a champion of the disenfranchised and his writing consistently examined social life from the perspective of participants who were often treated harshly because of their marginalization. The articles in this book were selected to encompass Kincheloe's impressive scholarly career and to draw attention to the necessity for educators to take a critical stance with respect to the enactment of education to reproduce disadvantage. Among the theoretical frameworks included in the works are critical pedagogy, research, hermeneutics, phenomenology, cultural studies, and post-formal thought. Key Works in Critical Pedagogy is a comprehensive introduction to the scholarly contributions of one of the foremost educational researchers of our time. The selected chapters and associated scholarly review essays constitute a reference resource for researchers, educators, students of education -- and all of those with an interest in adopting a deeper view of ways in which policies and practices shape education and social life to produce privilege and disadvantage simultaneously in ways that are often hidden from view. The critical perspective that permeates these works constitute ways of thinking and being in the world that others can adopt as a framework for analyzing their engagement in education as researchers, teacher educators, policymakers, students, parents of students, and members of the community at large. Responding to each of Kincheloe's chapters is a scholar/teacher who is intimately familiar with the works, theories, and epistemologies of this unique scholar."--Publisher's website Front Matter....Pages i-xxiv Exposing the Technocratic Perversion of Education....Pages 1-19 Teachers Reversing the Cycle....Pages 21-26 Willie Morris and the Southern Curriculum....Pages 27-47 Goin’ South....Pages 49-52 A Tentative Description of Post-Formal Thinking....Pages 53-76 Reconceptualizing Educational Psychology....Pages 77-84 Meet Me Behind the Curtain....Pages 85-99 A Dialogic Encounter with Joe Kincheloe’s “Meet Me Behind the Curtain”....Pages 101-106 Schools Where Ronnie and Brandon Would Have Excelled....Pages 107-121 Reflections on Joe Kincheloe’s Schools Where Ronnie and Brandon Would Have Excelled....Pages 123-127 The New Childhood....Pages 129-147 Welcome to Shermerville....Pages 149-154 Mcdonald’s, Power, and Children....Pages 155-170 The Corporate Paradise of A Subverted Urban Kinderculture....Pages 171-176 Describing the Bricolage....Pages 177-189 Kincheloe’s Bricolage....Pages 191-200 Critical Ontology....Pages 201-217 Critical Ontology and Teacher Agency....Pages 219-226 The Knowledges of Teacher Education....Pages 227-243 The Knowledges of Teacher Education in Action....Pages 245-252 On to the Next Level....Pages 253-277 Embracing Radical Research....Pages 279-284 Rethinking Critical Theory and Qualitative Research....Pages 285-326 Reflecting on Critical Theory and Qualitative Research....Pages 327-332 Critical Ontology and Indigenous Ways of Being....Pages 333-349 On Critical Ontology and Indigeneous Ways of Being....Pages 351-355 The Southern Place and Racial Politics....Pages 357-378 Kincheloe and Interracial Recovery....Pages 379-384 Critical Pedagogy and the Knowledge Wars of the Twenty-First Century....Pages 385-405 The Anti-Imperialist Pedagogy of Joe L.
