Contents:
Framing the issues -- Postmodernism and the discourses of emancipation: precedents, parallels and interruptions -- Research as praxis -- Feminist perspectives on empowering research methodologies -- Deconstructing/deconstructive inquiry: the politics of knowing and being known -- Reinscribing otherwise: postmodernism and the human sciences -- Staying dumb? student resistance to liberatory curriculum.
Summary: "The ways in which knowledge relates to power have been much discussed in radical education theory. New emphasis on the role of gender and the growing debate about subjectivity have deepened the discussion, while making it more complex. In Getting Smart, Patti Lather makes use of her unique integration of feminism and postmodernism into critical education theory to address some of the most vital questions facing education researchers and teachers."--Publisher description.
