  Abstract: Looks at two representative examples of the impact of multiculturalism on higher education in order to get a concrete sense of how different perspectives can affect understanding of the multicultural transformation of the college curriculum in general and English studies in particular. Notes that the emphasis on educational access should be on "geography of education."

  Kate Ronald and Hephzibah Roskelly

  • Hide Abstract

  Abstract: Considers how teachers might re-create, rather than import, Paulo Freire into North American contexts--and so not lose the power of his ideas. Takes the method of pragmatism and connects it to Freire's concept of praxis to argue for pragmatic theory and practice in the work of teaching literacy.

  • Hide Abstract

  Abstract: Argues that Kenneth Burke used "The Interpretation of Dreams," as well as other works by Sigmund Freud, as a lesson on reading, taking over the central tropes of dreamwork and making them broadly dialectical rather than strictly psychoanalytic terms. Suggests that Freud's"tropology" of dreaming is crucial for reading Burke.
