Educational research and poetics are often not included in the same conversation. Educational Poetics: Inquiry, Freedom and Innovative Necessity is one of the only texts to explore the possibilities of linking these domains to develop an emergent form of inquiry. Such an inquiry utilizes our human potential to go beyond the seductive force of everyday commonsense to consider and put into place alternative perspectives that are often hidden from view.

Rezensionen
"Invested in producing generative forms of knowledge, this is an 'open text' that questions everything, including itself. Across singular and collective voices of 'author-learners', inquiry is used to explore the 'relations of freedom' possible in action research oriented toward a 'deep politic' that performs what it announces. This book documents what must have been quite an interesting journey and should provide a model for others of us in teacher ed struggling to find forms to work against the same old same old." (Patti Lather, Professor, Cultural Studies in Education Program, Ohio State University)
"The book promises to be a significant contribution, which is no surprise given my respect for Dr. Gitlin's work. In Educational Poetics, Andrew Gitlin and his colleagues show how combining a simultaneous commitment to aesthetics and social justice can illuminate the realites that teachers face. The multiple voices in this book provide hope for a better future for teacher researchers." (Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, and Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison)
