Zoos are colonial articulations of the human relationship to animals and the world in which we live. As institutions, they may best be described as fictions---partial truths and interpretations of our environs. This dissertation is a novel, a work of fiction that seeks to better understand the meaning of the colonial curriculum of zoos, and the struggle that entails the journey to name it. In it, a graduate student studying the colonial curriculum of zoos meets Silas P. Rutherford, a curriculum scholar who has befriended a bear named Sam, who is an 'inmate' at the local zoo. What begins as an honest inquiry turns into an adventure and a conversation---and a reflection on the cages we construct.

520 $a Zoos are colonial articulations of the human relationship to animals and the world in which we live. As institutions, they may best be described as fictions---partial truths and interpretations of our environs. This dissertation is a novel, a work of fiction that seeks to better understand the meaning of the colonial curriculum of zoos, and the struggle that entails the journey to name it. In it, a graduate student studying the colonial curriculum of zoos meets Silas P. Rutherford, a curriculum scholar who has befriended a bear named Sam, who is an 'inmate' at the local zoo. What begins as an honest inquiry turns into an adventure and a conversation---and a reflection on the cages we construct.
520 $a This work draws from my time as a zoo educator, where I witnessed, first hand, the intersection of diverse narratives and interpretations in a public space. Recognizing that learning happens beyond the walls of the traditional classroom, I framed my work through the "out of school curriculum" or "outside curriculum" (Schubert, 1981; 2008a). As Schubert (1981) suggests, we may render the world curricular, that is to say that we may view all experiences, thoughts, utterances, and articulations in the world around us as educative, akin to the concept of a lived curriculum, or "currere," developed by Pinar and Grumet (1976). As one considers curriculum as that which is experienced and lived, then the question of who or what guides (teaches) these experiences becomes worthy of discussion.
520 $a It is my hope that this story will encourage dialogue about the hidden colonial curriculum of zoos and its relevance throughout the field of education, educational research, and society. This novel aims to provide a discursive entry into the complex world of zoos and their metaphorical power, as well as a reflection on the meaning of educational research and the possibilities found in fiction.
