If teacher education, as a field of study, is to contribute to
the revitalization, re-moralization and re-politicization of
Education, this book argues that it needs to be alert to
questions of teachers’ intellectual and political freedom and to
concerns about the legitimacy of what we do in teacher education,
in the name of Education.

Anne Phelan demonstrates how curriculum theorizing can serve such
an educational project by engaging concerns about subjectivity
(human agency and action), society, and historical moment,
thereby widening the field of insight in teacher education and
informing debates about new trajectories for policy and practice.
Exploring teacher education through ethical, political, aesthetic
vocabularies, drawn from the Humanities, is vital at a time when
the dehumanizing influences of performativity, standardization
and accountability are evident in education systems across the
world, and when we are in danger of losing the things that we
most value and are the least measurable - relationships,
independent thought, and ethical judgment.

Curriculum Theorizing and Teacher Education will be of
interest to teacher educators who are practicing, researching, or
(re)designing teacher education, as well as policy makers who are
curious about new possibilities for framing the "problem" of
teacher education at provincial, state and federal levels.
