Curriculum Studies 10 Years After Jane Roland Martin’s Cultural Miseducation

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium marks the tenth anniversary of Jane Roland Martin’s John Dewey Lecture’s publication as CULTURAL MISEDUCATION. Chaired by a prominent theorist/leader of urban education, three other productive curriculum scholars will meet with Martin to engage and further develop her theory of cultural miseducation as a lens through which to examine (1) teaching and learning re women and animality, (2) coeducation in racist-sexist political economies, and (3) adolescent sexuality education. Each case study will approach such “cultural book-keeping” distinctively: the first, from a Womanist perspective, studying women’s animal rights tracts; the second, from a post-Wollstonecraftian perspective, studying an early 19th-century African American self-education narrative; the third, from a Foucauldian perspective, studying professional texts from mid-20th century to the millennium.
