Teaching Joe L. Kincheloe

Brock (director, Urban Teacher Education Program, Indiana University) unites former students and colleagues of Joe Kincheloe, who are committed to carrying on Kincheloe's work in education. In Part 1, contributors discuss how their relationships with Kincheloe and his work have continued to inform their teaching and scholarship, in chapters on the critical complex epistemology of hip-hop culture, teaching critical pedagogy through poetry, and the historical origins of critical pedagogy in the theory of Joe Kincheloe. In Part 2, authors examine how Kincheloe's passionate pedagogy worked in and beyond the classroom. Some topics include contesting the hidden discourse of academic success, and a post-womanist pedagogy. Part 3 presents personal reflections on Kincheloe as a mentor and colleague. The audience for the book includes teachers and others interested in creating a more just world and a more engaging school system. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
