My Struggle for Pedagogy

  • Chapter
Leaders in Critical Pedagogy

Part of the book series: Leaders in Educational Studies ((LES))

Abstract

It was Christmas Day, 2002. I know this because the date is written on the inside cover of the book Mum’s sister, Sally, handed me. I recall her apologising in advance for what she described as a rather odd gift. Intrigued, I tentatively uncovered the title Siblings: Brothers and sisters of children with special needs (Strohm, 2002) and wondered if I’d ever read it.
