Reviews
“This collection is an inspiring, provocative invitation to the reader to join in fostering innovative and critical sensibilities inside and outside the classroom. It feels particularly relevant at a time when the conditions for education are changing while the threat of renewed discrimination of marginalized groups looms large. The essays ask us to rethink how intellectual concerns, institutional structures, and conventional practices have taken shape and how they can be overturned. The authors question, argue, theorize, and wonder about possibilities, their approaches all reflecting a desire to disrupt normative practices and create more cognitive and interactive spaces for flexibility and inclusion.” (Anna Fahraeus, Director of Studies, Department of English Literature and Language, School of Education, Humanities and Social Science, Halmstad University, Sweden)

About the editors
James E. Wermers is Digital Humanities Course Manager for the College of Letters and Sciences at Arizona State University, USA, and doctoral candidate at the University of Arizona, USA.
Joshua O. Lunn recently completed a fifteen-year sentence in an Arizona state prison. Noting the relationship between his crimes and patriarchal ideologies that encourage domination, oppression, and violence, he has explored ecofeminist and queer theory to examine delimiting ways of thinking and to effect positive change inside and outside of prison.
