This book collects recent and creative theorizing emerging in the fields of curriculum studies and curriculum theory, through an emphasis on provoking encounters. Drawn from a return to foundational texts, the emphasis on an ‘encountering’ curriculum highlights the often overlooked, pre-conceptual aspects of the educational experience; these aspects include the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of teaching and learning.
The book highlights that immediate components of one’s encounters with education—across formal and informal settings—comprise a large part of the teaching and learning processes. Chapters offer both close readings of specific work from the curriculum theory archive, as well as engagements with cutting-edge conceptual issues across disciplinary lines, with contributions from leading and emerging scholars across the field of curriculum studies.
This book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and post-graduate students in the fields of curriculum studies and curriculum theory.
"Provoking Curriculum Encounters Across Educational Experience is an exceedingly beautiful collection of essays that serves as a timely companion and provocateur to Pinar and Grumet’s pivotal text, Toward a Poor Curriculum. In their deeply pedagogic, richly theorized, and affectively charged autobiographical accounts, the authors offer new imaginaries of how we might live in ethical relation to history, place, and the other. A must read for those who wish to understand and enact education as an encounter with existence."
Anne M. Phelan, University of British Columbia.
"The editors and authors of this remarkable collection pay deep respect to the living archive and seminal reconceptualist text Toward a Poor Curriculum, yet they also move in new directions that challenge the prevailing curricular paradigm as scripted, measurable, and tested. This group of scholars opens up spaces of curricular possibilities that are autobiographical, ecological, spiritual, relational, and ethical. While the strands of thought in Provoking Curriculum Encounters Across Educational Experience are indeed multitudinous, at the heart of this collection is curriculum as lived experience."
Hannah Spector, Penn State University, Harrisburg.
"It is a profound joy to engage with these scholars in their pilgrimage to experience the sacred, ethical and provocative encounters of curriculum. The essays in this collection provide a rich pastiche of what it means to engage in a poor curriculum, a curriculum that is embedded in pre-conceptual experience as a provocative site for theorizing life. This is a book that calls us to reengage with curriculum as a process of humanization, not as a technocratic, reductionist mechanism of control."
