Seungho Moon

translator of Variations on a Blue Guitar (Translation into Korean)

February 4, 2012

Dr. Seungho Moon is an Assistant Professor of Curriculum Studies at the School of Teaching and Curriculum Leadership (STCL), College of Education. During his doctoral study at Teachers College, Columbia University, he theorized curriculum as sociopolitical, cultural, gendered, and classed discourses. He also used narrative inquiry as a mode of inquiry and literary genre in educational studies. Drawn from Dr. Maxine Greene's and Dr. Janet Miller's philosophy, Dr. Moon continues working on poststructuralist approaches to curriculum studies, aesthetic experience and education, and diversity issues in education. He has worked for supporting the development of small learning communities that serve students at risk at The National Center for Restructuring Education, Schools, and Teaching (NCREST). His research and book reviews on cultural identities, transnationalism, and school reform appear in Teachers College Record, Teaching and Teacher Education, Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, and International Journal of Multicultural Education, and more.

Variations on the Blue Guitar is the collection of Dr. Maxine Greene's lectures on aesthetic education at The Lincoln Center Institute. Dr. Greene emphasizes the importance of releasing the social, political, ethical imagination with the use of works of art. Funded by the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (SFAC), this translated work (in Korean) contributes not only to expand Dr. Greene's philosophy on aesthetic education to a larger audience but also to inspire educators and students to 'imagine things otherwise' via transnational cultural exchanges.
