The Challenge of Cultural Studies to Colleges of Education.

Giroux, Henry A.

International Journal of Educational Reform, v3 n4 p464-69 Oct 1994

Deplores the current drive toward cost efficiency, restructuring, and vocationalization of colleges of education. Cultural studies offer an opportunity to redefine educational theory and practice and educate teachers and administrators to play a vital role in renewing civic life. Concerned with empowerment and the democratic process, cultural studies offer a transnational approach to literacy and learning. (18 endnotes) (MLH)
