Description
Diane Conrad and Monica Prendergast bring together scholars and practitioners in education to explore why educators are often portrayed in film and theatre. This collection critiques traditional representations, examines satiric parodies, and analyses independent and popular films and plays from around the world. The essays delve into issues such as teacher-student relationships, institutional cultures, and societal influences, shedding light on the varied fascinations of media with the educator. By examining these topics, this book offers a unique perspective on the representation of teaching in popular culture. Through its analyses, Teachers and Teaching on Stage and on Screen provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between education, film, and society.
