Dobrin (English, U. of Kansas) takes a practical stance, arguing that theory and practice must inform one another, laying out postmodern thought, postprocess theory, feminism and pedagogy, and radical pedagogy in a comprehensible manner so that they can actually affect the realities of classroom instruction.
