"For Ted T. Aoki language isn't merely communication, it is a way for human beings to live humanly in the world, to cultivate listening to the tensions/intentions of our socio-cultural spaces, and to dwell in sites of abundance as we linger and learn together. Contemplating Curriculum exemplifies these Aokian ideas in every possible way. It is a brilliant volume that honours Aoki's scholarship and practice by demonstrating the genealogies/times/places that beckon his work into the future. Through this extraordinary book Aoki's work will live on for generations to come."Rita Irwin, University of British Columbia, Canada"Ted once told me that all he had to do was close his eyes and stay silent and many people would think he was ‘deep.’ Ha! This, among many other reasons, is why we loved him. What we've got here is a loving collection of some of those other reasons."David Jardine, University of Calgary, Canada
