A volume in The Curriculum and Pedagogy SeriesThe Curriculum and Pedagogy book series is an enactment of the mission and values espoused by theCurriculum and Pedagogy Group, an international educational organization serving those who share acommon faith in democracy and a commitment to public moral leadership in schools and society.Accordingly, the mission of this series is to advance scholarship that engages critical dispositions towardscurriculum and instruction, educational empowerment, individual and collectivized agency, and socialjustice. The purpose of the series is to create and nurture democratic spaces in education, an aspect ofeducational thought that is frequently lacking in the extant literature, often jettisoned via efforts to de-politicize the study of education. Rather thanignore these conversations, this series offers the capacity for educational renewal and social change through scholarly research, arts-based projects,social action, academic enrichment, and community engagement. Authors will evidence their commitment to the principles of democracy,transparency, agency, multicultural inclusion, ethnic diversity, gender and sexuality equity, economic justice, and international cooperation.Furthermore, these authors will contribute to the development of deeper critical insights into the historical, political, aesthetic, cultural, andinstitutional subtexts and contexts of curriculum that impact educational practices. Believing that curriculum studies and the ethical conduct that iscongruent with such studies must become part of the fabric of public life and classroom practices, this book series brings together prose, poetry, andvisual artistry from teachers, professors, graduate students, early childhood leaders, school administrators, curriculum workers and planners, museumand agency directors, curators, artists, and various under-represented groups in projects that interrogate curriculum and pedagogical theories.
