Counterpoints- Understanding Curriculum Epistemicide

This book reconsiders curriculum epistemicide. What unfolds is a collection of thought pieces that converge around the erasure of unique ways of knowing but diverge in relation to the meaning of curriculum epistemicide and who gets to define it. Each chapter points to a deeper understanding of curriculum theory and what knowledge is of most worth. The relentless bombing of cities, dismantling of democracies, projection of hate as kindness, and masquerading lies as truth are emerging realities of the 21st century. In reconsidering curriculum epistemicide, this edited collection converges on the erasure of unique ways of knowing. However, differences arise as we examine the definition of curriculum epistemicide, and who gets to define it. The chapters in this book are uniquely braided in the ever-expanding encounter with various theories and perspectives, enabling readers to perceive an issue from different standpoints, providing a deeper understanding of what curriculum theory is and which knowledge is of most worth.
