The Pervert’s Guide to Being a Curriculum Theorist

Abstract

Reconceptualist curriculum has provided a field of study that intersects with the humanities. As a young scholar, I question my place in curriculum theory using Gilles Deleuze and Slavoj Zizek as two key entry points to ground departures (or lines of flight) and destinations. The seminal question challenges what boundaries and limitations exist for a young scholar seeking to be a pervert theorist, and if perverts are even wanted (or a part of) reconceptualist curriculum.
