| | Collaboration, Critical Pedagogy, and Struggles Over Difference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Critical pedagogy asks students to interrogate difference in a politically transformative way by having them exercise self-reflection, usually through the telling of their narratives and the interpreting of these experiences in terms of social categories of difference (see Giroux, Lather, McClaren, Shor). |
 | | Critical pedagogy, with its emphasis on the ways that discourse participates in constructions of identity and perceptions of society, has begun recently to influence composition studies, particularly in terms of how collaboration can be used in writing classrooms (see, for example, Bizzell, Fiore and Elsasser, and Jarratt). |
 | | As two graduate students committed to the goals of critical pedagogy, we believe that the classroom is a space where the social construction of difference should be recognized and examined, and we believe that collaboration is one possible way to achieve these ends. |
