Book Title: Troublemakers: Lessons in Freedom from Young Children at School

Author: Carla Shalaby

Selection Statement:

Carla Shalaby and I attended the same graduate school. She impressed me with her boldness and integrity. When Troublemakers came out, I imagined the book would be brilliant. Reading it moved me. The review I wrote about Troublemakers happens to be one of my most downloaded writings. Shalaby masterfully challenged traditional notions of who should inform education research and policy. Her humanizing, student-centered, and love-based research exemplifies the scholarship most needed in our field.
