"This fieldbook will be a wonderful resource for university
professors and practitioners alike. The exercises are
designed to challenge our socially constructed notions
of truth and meaning."
-- Dr. Gloria Cuadraz, Associate Professor,
Arizona State University West
“For academics and students in
classrooms, this book is an important tool for waking up
the mind to thinking critically about the social world
we all live in, instead of passively letting ideas get
banked into our heads. The assumption of this book of
learning labs is that creating new meaning is the
pathway to positive personal and social change. The
learning labs give students the opportunities to
understand the notion of multiple voices, multiple
selves and multiple realities. The exercises
affirm the "we" rather than the "I"
as a fundamental way of living in the world, and
learning how to view things through appreciative
inquiry. These learning labs would also be useful to
campuses that are developing learning communities for
critical consciousness and social justice.”
