Summary:

From Dayton, Ohio, to Barcelona, Spain, this collection of essays from the Harvard Educational Review carries readers to places where people have first imagined--and then organized--their own educational responses to dehumanizing practices and conditions. Within a context of continued calls for education reform, Humanizing Education: Critical Alternatives to Reform seeks to inspire a renewed sense of more fundamental improvements. The contributors offer historic examples of hopeful and humanizing educational spaces, practices, and movements that embody a spirit of possibility and change.--back cover.
