Doug Selwyn taught for 14 years in the Seattle Public Schools and then moved to teacher education, in 2000, first at Antioch University in Seattle, and then for 10 years at SUNY Plattsburgh where he was a Professor of Education until he retired in 2017. He has written several books on education, his most recent, All Children Are All Our Children, published in 2019 with Peter Lang. He can be reached at dougselwyn@aol.com.

“I really like the book structure with the overarching themes that allow a reader to tackle heavy and important topics in a manageable and digestible fashion. This kind of book should be a staple in all teacher education programs! We should be grappling with these important questions at all levels of society and these conversations should be informing change and transformation.”—Leslie Rome, Director, Youth and Teen Programs, University of Washington Continuum College
