Description:
The current academic milieu displays a deep ambivalence about the teaching of Western culture and traditional subject matter. The historical convergence of theory and diversity gives rise to this ambivalence and in turn opens up new opportunities for what Pamela Caughie calls "passing": recognizing and accounting for the subject positions involved in representing both the material being taught and oneself as a teacher. What emerges from this book is the possibility of dynamic ethics responsive to the often polarizing difficulties inherent in the culture of these changing times.
