Overview
This book argues for education's reconsideration of what psychoanalytic theories of love and hate might mean to the design of learning and pedagogy. Britzman sets in tension three perspectives: studies of education, studies in psychoanalysis, and studies of ethics to consider how larger social and cultural histories live in the small history of the subject. Britzman casts her net widely to consider questions of sex education, the work of Anna Freud in reencountering the Diary of Anne Frank, reading practices in pedagogy, anti-racist pedagogy and the question of love, and the arguments between education and psychoanalysis.Editorials

Advocating for revisiting the relevance of psychoanalytic inquiry for learning and teaching, Britzman (education, social and political thought; women's studies, York U.) confronts educators with provocative commentary on: private desires vs. education's repression, a polymorphously perverse curriculum, queer pedagogy, the narcissism of minor differences in relation to an antiracist pedagogy, and the teaching of contentious history (e.g. the Holocaust as represented by ).
