A child of World War I, Nicholson-Goodman (education, Pennsylvania State U.-Harrisburg) explores the failings and the potential of the US at the dawn of the 21st century. She adopts William F. Pinar's notion of a national autobiography, and uses multiple narratives to reflect the fragmented nature of the country and its society. Her topics include a line of flight for curriculum inquiry, cultures of citizenship, and contours of a curriculum for the new American wilderness.
