For this edition of the CPP seminar series we're very pleased to welcome Naeem Inayatullah, who will be presenting his latest book, 'Pedagogy as Encounter - Beyond the Teaching Imperative.'

 An autobiographically and theoretically infused account of my teaching principles/experiences in eight chapter, culled from 35 years in the classroom.  I reject that pedagogy can be a form of liberation as expressed, for example, in the texts of Paulo Freire, bell hooks, and Parker Palmer.  Instead, I offer “encounter” as a richer way to think about teaching and learning.  The manuscript challenges the foundational assumptions of teaching and learning.  It offers new ideas, methods, and techniques for staging encounters within the classroom and beyond.
