Description
Contemplating Curriculum takes up world-renowned curricular scholar, teacher, and mentor Ted T. Aoki's invitation to contemplate where curriculum scholars situate themselves in their work. At the same time it probes into the historical and present conditions that make it both possible and impossible to attend to this work in classrooms and communities in mindful, embodied, and aesthetic ways, both locally and globally. The book offers a strong representative sampling of contemporary thinking in the field with a focus on contemplative approaches to curriculum. In their theorizing, contributors call on literary and other mixed-genre formats, such as creative nonfiction, poetry, and essay. They acknowledge the importance of intergenerational dialogue and recognize the importance of time and place in curricular, pedagogical, and personal sense-making. These written and visual texts invite contemplation on notions of curriculum, both planned and lived, in an Aokian spirit of intertextuality.
Reviews / Votes
"For Ted T. Aoki language isn't merely communication, it is a way for human beings to live humanly in the world, to cultivate listening to the tensions/intentions of our socio-cultural spaces, and to dwell in sites of abundance as we linger and learn together. Contemplating Curriculum exemplifies these Aokian ideas in every possible way. It is a brilliant volume that honours Aoki's scholarship and practice by demonstrating the genealogies/times/places that beckon his work into the future. Through this extraordinary book Aoki's work will live on for generations to come."Rita Irwin, University of British Columbia, Canada
"Ted once told me that all he had to do was close his eyes and stay silent and many people would think he was 'deep.' Ha! This, among many other reasons, is why we loved him. What we've got here is a loving collection of some of those other reasons."
David Jardine, University of Calgary, Canada
