"This is the most thought-provoking book to be published on
pedagogy in a long, long time. Conceptually elegant and empirically
rich, it undercuts conventional wisdom and potentially rearranges
how we think about teaching, learning and writing. It argues that
students’ bodies not just their minds matter in learning,
explaining how, in practice, the desire to learn is a mindful
bodily disposition. And it shows how, through an enabling form of
discipline, teachers can produce a scholarly habitus in all
students, including the educationally disadvantaged and
defiant."
Jane Kenway, Professor of Education, Monash University
"Discipline and Learn: Bodies, Pedagogy and Writing an excellent
book which makes an important contribution to our understanding of
both pedagogy and the body and which is sure to spark debate in
both fields. It is careful and judicious in its approach but still
manages to be provocative and original."
Nick Crossley, Professor of Sociology, University of Manchester
