Education at the Edge of Experience

Marla Morris is Professor of Education at Georgia Southern University, USA.

“With remarkable acuity Marla Morris lucidly navigates the contours of the concept and practice Currere at ‘the Edge of Experience’ in a series of readings that are always instructive and insightful. An impressive thematic exposition and a useful guide for the perplexed who only see a kind of educational instrumentalism governed by test scores and PISA rankings. Heartily recommended.”Michael A Peters, Distinguished Professor of Education, Beijing Normal University, P.R. China."Faced with the uncanny threshold of death, the erotic force driving intellect, and the limits of a language that strains toward poetry as it tries to say the unsayable, Marla Morris draws on a stunning range of sources to lead us toward currere as a living practice that refuses to conform to the metrics of the modern corporate university."Raymond Barfield, writer and Physician, USA."Morris displays an agility of mind and fluidity of critique...that is both inspiring and breathtaking in its erudition and scope. Education at the Edge of Experience: Navigating the Unassimilable is a signpost for the future of educational theory and philosophy and essential reading for anyone doing serious work in the field of curriculum and pedagogy."Peter Pericles Trifonas, Professor, Ontario Institute of Education, University of Toronto, Canada.
