Introductions in Refereed Journal

From 1999-2003, I was a section editor (review of cultural texts) for the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing which is the primary journal for reconceptualist curriculum theory. One of my responsibilities was to write an introduction to the article/s that would be presented in the “Reading Between the Lines” section. This opportunity to write freely was key to helping me develop a unique and recognizable voice in the field.
