Engaging Teachers: Towards a radical democratic agenda for schooling

<p>Even before they finished Just Schooling (2000), educators Gale (Monash U., Australia) and Densmore (San Jose State U., California) knew they had more to say on the topic, and launched this sequel. In order to reclaim the education discourse captured by New Right politics, they discuss the anti-democratic nature of markets, the increased control and reduced responsibility by government, and the need for teachers to connect the big picture with local community action and to engage more fully with their communities.

<p>Even in an age of economic prosperity, there are young people who live on the edge of western societies and who are held accountable for their every indiscretion, sometimes even for those of others. This book employs a sociological imagination to make connections between the public issues and private troubles of youth living on the street. The narrative is pedagogical in intent, seeking to make sense of seemingly antisocial behavior, understood in the context of broader social, political, and economic concerns. In particular, it speaks to the «helping» professions of education, law, social work, nursing, psychology, and medicine.</p>
