An old president leaves office, a new one takes the oath. An old blogger retires his post, a new one begins hammering the keys.
My name is Marc Engel and I will be sharing with you my hopes and aspirations, anxieties and insecurities, rantings and treatises, all in good blogging taste of course. I'm taking over for a dear friend Evan Nesterak, and we all know he did a wonderful job. I will do my best to live up to his standard.
I am interested and committed to many terms in Education: Critical Multiculturalism, Critical Pedagogy, Radical Education...that is education which is antiracist, antisexist, and anticapitalist.
I will try my best to flesh out some of these concepts as I myself struggle through them...their ideology, their theory, and that ever elusive praxis....the taking of theory and putting it into action.
Of course, there is also the practical side. Bills gotta get paid folks...Getting certified to teach, taking tests, licenses, states, finding a job, interviewing, etc... All that wonderful career-ey stuff will be here.
Because I am an idealistic college senior who wants to teach English literature in a subversive way, join the movement to reform education in our country in a JUST and RADICAL way, but of course have enough dough for challah and hummus.
That's all for now, but expect more throughout the week.
Love and Solidarity,
Marc Nathan Engel
