Discussion As A Way Of Teaching by Stephen Brookfield
Written for university and college teachers interested in experimenting with discussion methods in their classrooms, this work considers the influence of factors of race, class and gender on discussion groups and argues that teachers need to intervene to prevent patterns of inequity present in the wider society.
Stephen Brookfield began his teaching career in 1970 and has worked in England, Canada, Australia and the United States, teaching in a variety of college settings. He has written and edited eight books on adult learning, teaching and critical thinking and is a three time winner of the Cyril O. Houle World Award for Literature in Adult Education. After 10 years as a Professor of Higher and Adult Education at Columbia University in New York, he now holds the title of Distinguished Professor at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.
