The Knowledge Explosion

"It is partly the absence of recorded history which sends women now to the lives of women past for the detailed documentation of their daily lives. It is partly because of the way in which biography, "the writing of a life," can synthesize, blend and transcend the realms of the public and the private, that women are fascinated with what the genre can provide. It is partly because women have a literary culture in the developed world, and partly because women have a vested interest in the nature of power and representation - in the construction of silence, in the dynamic distortion and denial - that women want to concentrate on the methodological questions of biography. "All Sides of the Subject" aims to encompass and open up the significant issues in this remarkable area of study.

Understanding Teacher Development

Andy Hargreaves

<p>This collection of interpretations of teacher development begins from a humanistic and critical starting point. It is humanistic in that its prime purpose is to understand teacher development, not to prescribe ways of managing it. It is critical in that it raises questions about the ways our educational systems hinder the development of teachers deskilling, deprofessionalizing and disempowering them. Chapters cover several ways in which it may be facilitated. It is aimed at teachers, trainee teachers and teacher trainers. The contributors are: Philip Jackson (University of Chicago), William R. Louden (Ministry of Education, Western Australia), Christopher Clark (University of Michigan), Antoinette Oberg (University of Victoria, Canada), Susan Underwood (University of Victoria, Canada), Dennis Thiessen (University of Toronto), Ivor Goodson (University of Western Ontario), Michael Huberman (University of Geneva, Switzerland), Michael Apple (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Susan Jungek (National College of Education), Heather-Jane Robertson (Canadian Teachers' Federation)</p>
