Dani Friedrich – författare

In recent decades, TV has depicted schooling in wildly different ways. During this time, the field of Curriculum Studies has evolved with the generation and incorporation of different theories. This book puts those theories to work by providing examples of how they could be used to read scenes of schooling on TV through a series of short, accessible essays. How would Jean Anyon think of schooling and class relations in Diff’rent Strokes? What does a queer reading of Buffy The Vampire Slayer tell us about students’ relationship to authority? What does a cartoon created by one of Hip Hop’s most imaginative minds offer to burned-out teachers? The book also includes essays from “guest stars” (well-known scholars in the field) and several “commercial breaks” that provide additional resources for those interested in Curriculum Studies.Guest stars are: Wayne Au, Denise Taliaferro Baszile, Esther Ohito, Rachel Talbert, Roozbeh Shirazi, Kate Strom and Boni Wozolek.
