Professor Thomas Poetter publishes thought-provoking book on curriculum theory

Thomas Poetter, professor of educational leadership at Miami University, has published a new book titled "Curriculum Fragments: A Currere Journey through Life Processes." This insightful work builds upon Louise Berman's framework to explore seven life processes—knowing, loving, losing, growing, forgiving, relating, and hoping—through autobiographical stories highlighting their educational implications. Poetter's book aims to inspire educators and scholars to rethink and enrich curriculum theory and practice by integrating personal experiences and fostering a more joyful and just world.
