Author Information
Of Maxine Greene and Howard Zinn
Was struck this morning by a new piece of mine just making "print" (available in the online Journal of Educational Controversy) concurrent with the passing of Howard Zinn. In the middle of the piece about teacher education and Greene, I turn to the work of Zinn: "Of Rocks and Hard Places—The Challenge of Maxine Greene’s Mystification in Teacher Education"

how cool!
Hi Paul,
I just wanted to tell you I'm looking forward to reading your piece, and funny enough, a piece of mine is in the same issue. I actually draw from your work with Joe (Reading, Writing and Thinking: the postformal basics) extensively in my article Tilting the Machine. I hope you enjoy it!
Best,
Tricia
wonderful!
tricia, what a wonderful connection. . .just saw that your piece is next to mine. . .i have been drafting a new book introduction today and hadnt gotten to the JEC pieces yet but now will read yours today. . .really great you have used the work joe and i co-authored. . .paul t
outstanding piece
tricia, your piece is excellent. . .i am honored to have my work with joe included in your discussion. . .and the situations you identify are exactly what i am facing while teaching writing to "elite" students in freshman writing seminars. . .their "training" and assumptions block their ability to create and explore. . .paul t
really good stuff
Hi Paul,
I had a chance to read your piece as well-- it was excellent. I forwarded it to a friend of mine to use with her classes. I also discovered in your references your piece about challenging assumptions and generative rather than deficit learning (can't remember the title offhand). I used that one in a book chapter I just finished. Really, really good stuff.
