Author Information

From the journal Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice Volume 34 Issue 4

Are you the kind of person who yawns through a conference schedule to automatically eliminate any program containing pedagogy, Eurocentric, praxis, emergent or hegemonic in the title? Does the word paradigm evoke images of Andy Rooney whining at the end of "60 Minutes" about having to learn new things all over again ("When will it stop shifting?"), just because somebody cooked up a fancy word for describing how we think? If this whole discussion about changing worldviews sends you packing for a couple of pills of super-strength Tylenol, then 'Shifting Paradigms' may not be for you. If, however, you are the perceptive sort who has become genuinely and increasingly frustrated with the fact that the old, "tried and true" ways of doing things just do not seem to work all that well anymore, then this book might just offer a means for understanding how and why a change in our thinking is a must for continuing survival today's world.
