"The writers of this volume continually draw to our attention the centrality of human values, desires, and encounters . . .[T]ough, sophisticated questions are handled here in a conversational and accessible manner. Indeed the emphasis on conversation is striking throughout . . . These conversations are both entertaining and enlightening."

—from the foreword by Nel Noddings

This unusual volume not only reflects the changing curriculum field of 1990, but a change in the way we could artistically represent such alterations and in how we might understand ourselves and our responsibilities as curriculum workers. The book mirrors the synergistic relationship between curriculum thinking and curriculum teaching, between the curriculum teacher and curriculum students, and among generations of curriculum teachers. The 26 writers represented here, including Ted Aoki, Michael Apple, O. L. Davis, Maxine Greene, Paul Klohr, and Norm Overly, reflect a deep commitment to curriculum work—a commitment often promoted and nurtured by mentors, other predecessors, and contemporaries.
