James C. Jupp, Assistant Professor of Curriculum and Pedagogy, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA

James C. Jupp works as Assistant Professor of Curriculum and Pedagogy at Georgia Southern University. He worked in rural and inner-city Title I settings for eighteen years before accepting a position working with teachers, administrators, and researchers at the university level. A public school teacher in diverse rural poor and inner-city Title I schools, his first line of research focuses on White teachers’ understandings of race, class, language, and difference pedagogy. Drawing on his experiences as teacher and researcher, he is currently the lead editor of a special issue of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies on “Second-wave White Teacher Identity Studies.” Additionally, drawing on his experiences living and studying in Spanish language traditions in Mexico and Texas, his second line of research develops cosmopolitan sensibilities in education. Emerging from his concerns for understanding cultural differences in education, cosmopolitan sensibilities argue for carefully historicized understandings of cultural difference presented in the chapter in this book. Overall, Jupp has published more than twenty scholarly articles in a variety of journals including the Gender and Education, International Journal of Qualitative Research in Education, Curriculum Inquiry, Urban Education, the Journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies, the Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, the English Journal, and Multicultural Review. His second book, Becoming Teachers of Inner-city Students, was published on Sense Publishers in 2013.
