McCall\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs long as there have been formal curricula, there have been disappointing curricula. In an increasingly authoritarian world, problematic curricula are on the rise, leaving teachers in a bind. When faced with these problematic curricula, some teachers will submit and do as they are told, while other teachers will oppose the problematic curricula, and, in some cases, face the consequences. Instead, Seth McCall argues for reworking problematic curricula. Turning to the nearest bookshelf, he engages with his own troubling inheritance, a problematic curriculum: E. D. Hirsch et al.'s \u003ci\u003eThe New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy\u003c\/i\u003e. As a gift from a beloved family member, that text proved too dear to discard and too problematic to accept unchanged. Drawing on examples of assemblage art, the author reworks the problematic curriculum through cutting, juxtaposing with other materials, and re-contextualizing in a different setting. Navigating in the wake of reactionary movements, \u003ci\u003eA Troubling Inheritance: Reworking Problematic Curricula\u003c\/i\u003e encourages teachers to find forms of subsistence while continuing to work toward a larger vision of social justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeth A.
