WELCOME TO CURRICULUM THEORY

This site welcomes all curriculum work broadly defined as well as all research methodologies. This is a sublation space and a sharing network. Members are asked to develop their "My Page" by posting links to their sites, papers, and works in progress. A special welcome to graduate students - feel free to share your research papers, photos, and videos here, find out what others are doing, check out reference lists, and create discussion forums. Let's SUBLATE!

From Wikipedia:
Sublation is an English term used to translate Hegel's German term Aufhebung. The German word Aufhebung literally means "out/up-lifting." In Hegel, the term Aufhebung has the apparently contradictory implications of both preserving and changing. In sublation, a term or concept is both preserved and changed through its dialectical interplay with another term or concept. Sublation is the motor by which the dialectic functions.

Recognizing the historic period we’re swimming through—and naming the political moment we inhabit—can be a fraught and tr… Continue

Digital Technologies: A Strange and Wonderful Curriculum

The penalty for poor performance is not a dock in pay or social ostracism, but rather the nagging feeling of having missed a cue—of a certain awkward… Continue
