Bell, James
English in Texas, v26 n3 p45-49 Spr 1995
Discusses Maxine Hairston's appropriation in 1982 of Thomas Kuhn's epistemology and his concept of "paradigm shift." Argues that the paradigm shift must be treated as an enabling fiction through which members of the professional can speculate on better ways to teach students. (SR)
