2012_MotheringABodiedCurr.jpg
Mothering a Bodied Curriculum: Emplacement, Desire, Affect

Anthology

Published by: University of Toronto Press. Toronto, 2012
Editors: Stephanie Springgay & Debra Freedman
336 page soft cover book
ISBN: 978-1-4426-4374-1 (bound)
ISBN: 978-1-4426-1227-3 (pbk)

This collection considers how embodiment, mothering, and curriculum theory are related to practices in education that silence, conceal, and limit gendered, raced, and sexual maternal bodies. Advancing a new understanding of the maternal body, it argues for a 'bodied curriculum' – a practice that attends to the relational, social, and ethical implications of ‘being-with’ other bodies differently, and to the different knowledges such bodily encounters produce.
