A Continuing Journey of Currere: Toward a Fluid, Embodied, Attuned Self-Understanding

A Continuing Journey of Currere invites readers into the evolving process of understanding currere, a concept introduced by William F. Pinar in the 1970s.Rather than viewing curriculum as planned, currere frames curriculum as a lived journey of self-understanding. It calls readers to turn inward to explore themselves in relation to others and the world while situating within the entanglement of past, present, and future. Drawing on Pinar's work, this book provides an understanding of currere that is interwoven with cosmopolitanism, poetic inquiry, ethics, teacher education, and the idea of punctuated manifestations—moments of pause, shift, or intensification that disrupt experience. Currere, here, becomes a lived guide for navigating the fluidity of life, engaging readers in feeling and thought, the given and the possible, the inner and outer worlds.Richly reflective and deeply empathic, this volume offers a pathway toward a more embodied, attuned, and fluid sense of self, transforming curriculum into an ongoing journey of exploration.
