Caughie, Pamela L. Passing & Pedagogy: The Dynamics Of Responsibility
Urbana And Chicago University Of Illinois Press 1999 0252067703 / 9780252067709 Trade Paperback Fine Condition 8vo
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 288 pages. Illustrated. Synopsis 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.

Trope, Zoe Please Don't Kill the Freshman: A Memoir
New York, New York, U.S.A. HarperTempest 2003 0060529369 / 9780060529369 First Edition Hard Cover Fine No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages - 295 pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book. I wrote a story about you. Well, sort of, see, it's mostly about me. Well, entirely about me, but here's the catch: I'm you. No, really, I mean it. Not like that transcendentalism stuff we're learning in English class, but really, truly, I'm you. I know what it feels like when your heart beats so hard against your white bone ribs, when you sing in the shower with soap in your eyes, when you run until you get a side ache. I wrote this story about you because I am so in love with you, your broken-fence teeth and your tissue-paper scars. I love you when you're so exhausted it could topple you to the ground, so in love it could snap guitar strings, so sickly sweet it could make lips smile. This is a reckless love story. This is my shameless confession.
