Teaching Passionately: What's Love Got to Do With It?

Learning to Teach/Teaching to Learn: Passionate Pedagogy explores social foundations from multiple perspectives, including theoretically, collaboratively and politically. It asks and answers the questions: What is the place of love and passion in teaching and learning?
