experience, pedagogy and human agency, and ethics and social respon-
sibility as part of a larger project for engaging and deepening the
prospects of democratic schooling in a multiracial and multicultural
society. Critical Studies in Education and Culture takes on the respon-
sibility of witnessing and addressing the most pressing problems of
public schooling and civic life, and engages culture as a crucial site and
strategic force for productive social change.

1. Lawrence Grossberg, "Toward a Genealogy of the State of Cultural
Studies," in Cary Nelson and Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar, eds. Disciplinarity
and Dissent in Cultural Studies ( New York: Routledge, 1996), p. 143.
2. David Bailey and Stuart Hall, "The Vertigo of Displacement," Ten

3. My notion of transdisciplinary comes from Mas'ud Zavarzadeh and
Donald Morton, "Theory, Pedagogy, Politics: The Crisis of the 'Subject' in
the Humanities," in Theory Pedagogy Politics: Texts for Change, Mas'ud Zavarzadeh
and Donald Morton, eds. ( Urbana: University of Illinois Press,
1992) p. 10. At issue here is neither ignoring the boundaries of discipline-
based knowledge nor simply fusing different disciplines, but creating theo-
retical paradigms, questions, and knowledge that cannot be taken up within
the policed boundaries of the existing disciplines.
4. Raymond Williams, "Adult Education and Social Change," in What I
Came to Say ( London: Hutchinson-Radus, 1989), p. 158.
5. The term "professional legitimation" comes from a personal correspon-
dence with Professor Jeff Williams of East Carolina University.
