Bakhtinian thought  

Definition

  • Bakhtinian thought contributes to curriculum studies by recognizing that voices cannot exist in isolation; rather, our utterances represent some aspect of our interactions and experiences within society throughout the duration of our lives. In this respect, classrooms represent a microcosm of society where differing voices come into contact to construct a polyphonic truth.
