Conflicts in curriculum theory: challenging hegemonic epistemologies

This book challenges educators to be agents of change, to take history into their own hands, and to make social justice central to the educational endeavor. Paraskeva embraces a pedagogy of hope championed by Paulo Freire where people become conscious of their capacity to intervene in the world to make it lessdiscriminatory and more humane. JOÃO M. PARASKEVA is an Associate Professor in the Center for Policy Analysis and Policy Studies at the School of Education, Public Policy, and Civic Engagement at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, USA.
