"Blood's Will is a speculative fiction in the vampire subgenre that
also functions as a philosophical meditation on curriculum inquiry
(with particular reference to the autobiographical method now known
as currere) and dramatizes ontological, epistemological, and
axiological questions about human knowledges and understandings of
living and dying. It is clearly informed by feminist,
counter-heteronormative, and what I would call post-humanist
positions. This book is a significant contribution to the
literature of curriculum theorizing." -Noel Gough, Professor
Emeritus at La Trobe University
"Blood's Will: Speculative Fiction, Existence, and Inquiry of
Currere is a significant contribution-and really, a remarkable
piece of work-by one of the nation's most important scholar/authors
in the curriculum studies, teacher education, educational policy,
and research fields. This work isn't merely a novel that you can't
put down, it is a window to so many salient themes that we think
about in our work on a daily basis and have few innovative
resources to address them in our work as individuals and with
students. I believe this book will be read widely and should be
taught in our courses." -Tom Poetter, Professor and Chair of the
Department of Educational Leadership at Miami University
"Not since Madeleine Grumet's Bitter Milk: Women and Teaching have
I fallen under the spell of a powerful and creative feminist text.
Morna McDermott McNulty's Blood's Will makes this passage between
the public and private worlds for our contemporary times. No doubt,
you too will devour this compelling postmodern feminist novel
conveying larger life themes through the vampire archetype!" -Carol
Mullen, Professor of Educational Leadership at Virginia Tech
