These highly personal essays from a range of academic settings explore the palpable moments of discomfort, disempowerment, and/or enlightenment that emerge when we discard the fiction that the teacher has no body. Visible and/or invisible, the body can transform both the teacher's experience and classroom dynamics. When students think the teacher's body is clearly marked by ethnicity, race, disability, size, gender, sexuality, illness, age, pregnancy, class, linguistic and geographic origins, or some combination of these, both the mode and the content of education can change. Other, less visible aspects of a teacher's body, such as depression or a history of sexual assault, can have an equally powerful impact on how we teach and learn. The collection anatomizes these moments of embodied pedagogy as unexpected teaching opportunities and examines their apparent impact on teacher-student educational dynamics of power, authority, desire, friendship, open-mindedness, and resistance.

Syd Sinnerman is the second coming of rock music, dethroning pop and hip-hop with his dark, brooding strain of philosophic rock. But few know the story of his unlikely rise to global superstardom from middle-class India, which is obsessed with academics, or that the very secret of his success is destroying him and no, it isn’t alcohol or drugs. High octane music and the quiet humdrum life of Kolkata brilliantly portrays the inner life of a little boy as he grows up alternately. Can Syd find himself again; can he put his life back together; will he sing again? The God of Sex and Gold and Rock ’n’ Roll, set in Singapore and India, explores what it takes to pursue the dreams we forget when real life hits us.
