Description
"Paradoxes of Learning" explores how learning is, in essence, our lifetime quest to understand personal identity, purpose, and meaning while conforming and adapting to the perceived and real confines of our paradoxical society. It reveals how societal factors--such as culture, race, gender, and class--influence what and how we learn in our growth as individuals. This book raises key questions about the roles and responsibilities of educators today and provides all who teach with new insights about the meaning and broader purposes of human learning.
