Henri Lefebvre on Space: Architecture, Urban Research, and the Production of Theory Stanek Lukasz

In this innovative work, Lukasz Stanek frames a uniquely contextual appreciation of Henri Lefebvre's idea that space is a social product. Stanek explicitly confronts both the philosophical and the empirical foundations of Lefebvre's oeuvre, especially his direct involvement in the fields of urban development, planning, and architecture.Countering the prevailing view, which reduces Lefebvre's theory of space to a projection of his philosophical positions, Stanek argues that Lefebvre's work grew out of his concrete, empirical engagement with everyday practices of dwelling in postwar France and his exchanges with architects and planners. Stanek focuses on the interaction between architecture, urbanism, sociology, and philosophy that occurred in France in the 1960s and 1970s, which was marked by a shift in the processes of urbanization at all scales, from the neighborhood to the global

Teaching the Teachers: LGBTQ Issues in Teacher Education hc Brant Cathy A. R.

Teacher educators have opportunities to include issues of multicultural education, equity, and social justice in the work done with preservice teachers. Including the educational and societal experiences of historically marginalized populations in curriculum creates spaces for teacher educators to model multicultural and social justice based pedagogies, while preparing teachers to work with and work for these students.The most effective way for teacher educators to address the unique perspectives of historically and currently marginalized populations is to integrate various perspectives throughout the curriculum (Grant & Zwier, 2012).
