It is a remarkable book that provides daring analyses from the vantage of the graduate student experience. Drawing from individual knowledge and research, the authors invite you to re-imagine education for justice. Barry Kanpol opens the work with a brilliant meditation on joy and cynicism in university classrooms and educational theory.

In a true critical approach, each chapter problematizes a new facet of academic assumptions and practices as they touch the lives of students.
