Extreme teaching: rigorous texts for troubled times

Books in this series will provide practical ideas on classroom practice for teachers and
teacher educators that are grounded in a profound understanding of the social, cultural,
political, economic, historical, philosophical, and psychological contexts of education
as well as in a keen sense of educational purpose. Within these contextual concerns
contributors will address the ferment, uncertainty, and confusion that characterize the
Troubles of contemporary education. The series will focus specifically on the act of
teaching. While the topics addressed may vary, EXtreme Teaching is ultimately a book
series that addresses new, rigorous, and contextually informed modes of classroom
practice. Authors will bring together a commitment to educational and social justice
with a profound understanding of a rearticulation of what constitutes compelling
scholarship. The series is based on the insight that the future of progressive educational
reform rests at the intersection of socio-educational justice and scholarly rigor. Authors
will present their conceptions of this rigorous new pedagogical frontier in an accessible
manner that avoids the esoteric language of an "in group." In this context, the series
editors will make use of their pedagogical expertise to introduce pedagogical ideas to
student, teacher, and professional audiences. In this process, they will explain what they
consider the basic concepts of a field of study, developing their own interpretive
insights about the domain and how it should develop in the future. Very few progressive
texts exist to introduce individuals to rigorous and complex conceptions of pedagogical
practice: thus, authors will be expected to use their contextualized interpretive
imaginations to introduce readers to a creative and 'Progressive view of pedagogy in the
field being analyzed.
