Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education is an academic forum for the study
of teaching and pedagogy that focuses on the relationship between education and
its socio-cultural context. Drawing upon a variety of contextualizing disciplines
including cultural studies, curriculum theorizing, feminist studies, the social foun-
dations of education, critical pedagogy, multi/interculturalism, queer theory, and
symbolic interactionism, Taboo is grounded on the notion of “radical contextual-
ization.” The journal encourages papers from a wide range of contributors who
work within these general areas. As its title suggests, Taboo seeks compelling and
contro-versial submissions.

Control of academic discourse is challenged by the read/write web. Anyone can publish now, about anything they like, in any style they choose. But the academy still has the credentialing job. For how long? I wonder. We’re publishing our own research, and linking directly to the evidence, every day.

Critical Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
-
According to these theorists, a
“critical” theory may be distinguished from a
“traditional” theory according to a specific practical
purpose: a theory is critical to the extent that it seeks human
emancipation, “to liberate human beings from the circumstances
that enslave them” -
Instead, they have claimed that social inquiry ought to
combine rather than separate the poles of philosophy and the social
sciences: explanation and understanding, structure and agency,
regularity and normativity. - 1 more annotations...
