Abstract

Elizabeth Boquet, with C. Ann Ott and C. Mark Hurlbert, is a contributing author, “Dinner at the Classroom Restaurant: Shared Pedagogies in a Graduate Seminar.”

Book description: This is a book about the passion, risk, and promise of sharing power in the classroom. It is a quest for something students and teachers need and may yet win: a culture of democratic authority in our classrooms. The essays collected here show students and teachers reconstructing power relations by asking: Who has the right to speak in the classroom? Whose voices, what content, and which processes should be deployed? How can we overcome entrenched teacher-talk? It addresses one of the central concerns of democratic teaching: Where does subject matter come from and what do we do with it to become empowered, critical, and more humane?
