Our contemporary historical moment is often characterized by social,
political, economic, technological, and educational complexities, as
well as lived experiences of estrangement, isolation, insecurity,
loss, threat, and trauma. Within this difficult context, conventional
understandings of community which often rely upon assimilation or
exclusion are devoid of hope, and new imaginations of community and
community building are needed to cultivate generative, nurturing,
sustaining experiences of life together. Through a multi-threaded
exploration of the curriculum as embodied and emerging in a living
ecosystem, new conceptualizations of community building may emerge.
Drawing upon poststructural feminism, poetics, autobiography, and
metaphors of the maternal body, this book explores the complicated
intersections of difference, embodiment, emergence, and relationality
within the curriculum, to reimagine the possibilities of building the
other community, one inclusive of difference. Facing the challenges of
our time with hope, grace, and creativity, this book is uniquely
positioned in a middle space between the theoretical concerns of the
academic community and the needs for accessibility by the practitioner
within an instructional context.
