> >Educators and researchers throughout the United States and around the

> >groundbreaking new book series on anti-oppressive education. This series
> >will offer a range of conceptual and curricular resources for elementary
> >and secondary educators and teacher educators interested in exploring new

> >of oppression in the classroom. Currently, books are being compiled in

> >POSSIBLE TOPICS OF MANUSCRIPTS
> >
> >* Troubling Perspectives on Who We Teach: What are different ways to
> >understand and address the racial, class, sexual, religious, language, and
> >other differences in our classrooms, and how do those differences matter
> >in what and how students learn?
> >
> >* Troubling Perspectives on What and How We Teach: What are different ways
> >to structure the disciplines, why do only certain perspectives matter in
> >schools, and how might a revised curriculum make possible new ways to
> >challenge oppression in our lives?
> >
> >* Troubling Perspectives on Learning to Teach: What are different ways to
> >imagine teacher education in the disciplines, and what are the oppressive
> >tendencies and anti-oppressive possibilities of different approaches?
> >
> >UNIQUE FEATURE
> >
> >To model the collegiality and collaboration needed for anti-oppressive
> >change, this series will include not only chapters on various topics, but
> >also responses to those chapters by one or two other contributors to the
> >series. For example, following a theoretical chapter that examines the
> >nature of disciplinary knowledge, a classroom teacher might offer a
> >response that reflects on how this analysis might be useful for rethinking
> >that teacher's curriculum. Or, following a teacher educator's analysis of
> >preparing student teachers for social justice in a particular subject,
> >another teacher educator might reflect on the implications of this
> >analysis for the preparation of teachers in other subjects. Contributors
> >to this series will need to be interested in having this conversation, and
> >be willing to read at least one other chapter and write a 2-3 page
> >response. For the extra work involved in contributing to this feature,
> >authors can expect a small compensation.
> >
> >SELECTION CRITERIA
> >
> >This series seeks a diversity of perspectives and practices. Especially
> >desired are manuscripts that explore the practical implications of
> >cutting-edge theories of anti-oppressive education for
> >elementary/secondary educators and/or teacher educators. Authors are
> >encouraged to draw on various multicultural, feminist, critical, queer,
> >postcolonial, postmodern, and other perspectives, and to express their
> >ideas in a clear and accessible manner. Authors are also encouraged to use
> >anti-oppressive research methodologies and writing genres. For each
> >discipline, a range of manuscripts will be selected, from broad
> >theoretical overviews, to subject-specific analyses, to reflections on
> >unique teaching moments, and therefore, a range of authors are sought,
> >from classroom teachers to university researchers. Chapters should be able
> >to speak to its four main audiences: elementary and secondary educators,
> >curriculum specialists, teacher educators, and educational researchers.
