Megan Boler combines cultural history with personal classroom experience to explore how emotions have been and continue to be controlled, suppressed or ignored in the classroom and in theories of education. Feeling Power begins by charting the philosophies and practices developed over the last two centuries to control social conflicts arising from gender, class and race. The book then explores the progressive pedagogies that began to develop from civil rights and women's liberation movements, finally turning to the author's recent studies of current curriculum and conflict-resolution policies. Drawing on the rich formulation of emotion as knowledge in feminist, psychoanalytic, psychobiological and poststructuralist theories, Boler develops a unique theory of emotion missing from contemporary educational discourses.
