Indecent Proposals: Teachers in the Movies

Dale M. Bauer

Abstract

Focuses on images of teachers (particularly English teachers) in films. Argues that understanding how society views teachers through the prism of cultural imagination can productively challenge the profession to create its own pedagogical images. Suggests that, although these films depict the teacher’s sexuality to define its proper limits, the drama of eroticized teaching obscures larger concerns over classroom politics.
