This anthology crosses disciplines to explore the use of images as modes for creative and
critical inquiry. Researchers in the fields of literacy physical education and special
education describe and critique how they have used images with students of various ages and
backgrounds to evoke personal interpretations deconstruct cultural messages examine processes
of oppression and imagine alternative ways of acting in the world. Through this book the
contributors hope to inspire educators to explore the use of images in critical and creative
pedagogy as well as in their personal lives and to encourage researchers to push methodological
boundaries through the use of multiple forms of representation (Eisner 1993).
