Sounds of Silence Breaking : Women, Autobiography, Curriculum (Complicated Conversation)

Miller (English education, Columbia U.) assembles 16 pieces she has written over her three decades working in the academic field of curriculum. They explore silent subtexts of the daily work of teachers and curriculum developers, theorists, and researchers. Among the topics are autobiography and the necessary incompleteness of teachers' stories, the resistance of women academics, excessive moments and educational discourses that try to contain them, and autobiography as a queer curriculum practice.
