Professional Education with Fiction Media “In this book, Jarvis, Gouthro, and contributors eclectically and uniquely situate fiction as a dynamic art form and pedagogical device for engaging learners in thought-provoking, alternative, and cathartic educational explorations. Collectively, they speak to the flexibility of fiction for social ecological engagements that enable explorations of the self, others, and environments in new and inviting ways. As such, they demonstrate that fiction has educational utility for learners across fields of study and professions.” —André P. Grace, University of Alberta, Canada “This interdisciplinary book breaks new ground, making important theoretical and practical contributions to the fast changing field of Professional Education. Experts from a range of disciplines (health, education, science, law, social work), detail how they integrate fiction and popular culture into their teaching to stimulate and deepen professional learning. A new theoretical framework drawn from literary theory, psychology and critical social theory is elaborated in relation to the very interesting examples. This text has wide appeal across disciplines and will help educators appreciate the potential of fiction as a pedagogical tool in professional education.” —Bonnie Slade, University of Glasgow, UK “This powerful new book illustrates the critical, liberatory potential of fiction to professional education. The dynamic interaction of textual politics, social analysis and imaginative engagement in the diverse chapters illuminates the richness of narrative as a pedagogical strategy to foster the transformative possibilities of critical self and social reflection, empathy and compassion. Grounded theoretically yet easy to read, this book makes a significant contribution to how we teach creatively to a troubled world.” —Darlene E. Clover, University of Victoria, Canada
