Joe is now an Ascended Cosmic Master (a True Eros or THE True Eros?) UPDATE JANUARY 6, 2024: Joe is now crowned King Joe/Eros/Emanu'EL---THRICE-GREATEST
Joe Lyons Kincheloe: Remembering A Revered Master |  | | December 14, 1950 - December 19, 2008 | |  If you have landed on this web page, you probably know that Joe L. Kincheloe
was a renowned scholar who has left many works that need to be taken forward in application. This site is dedicated to remembering
Joe as an exemplary scholar, researcher, philosopher, teacher, mentor, musician, and friend. Joe has changed the lives
of the many people he has touched. He continues to change lives as people apply his works, such as his critical
complex epistemology and his multidimensional critical complex bricolage. He left us with conceptualizations
and exemplars of these powerful processes that appreciate the true complexity and multidimensionality of
social relationships. Applying these processes in all realms of our lives leads to more rigorous and passionate levels
of researching, learning, and understanding in education, our work, and daily living. We can change the world! Joe
believed liberation and the alleviation of suffering is possible for us all and that a rigorous education for everyone, especially
the poor, can be won. We are dedicated to Joe and everyone who loves him, has learned from him, or is interested
in learning more about him and how to apply his theoretical work.

<3<3<3 Psyche and Eros Day Gift <3<3<3  Joe would have loved the gift Marios Prodromou from Cyprus sent just in time for Valentine's Day! (Click on the link above
to view the complete document.) It is a representation of his wishes to employ critical complex epistemology in our behalf
to rename and redefine words and symbols in ways that are meaningful for us, not as they are dictated to us in often reductionistic
and deficient ways. Here, the author has named "limmerance" and has designed a new symbol to represent this Divinely
Powerful Love and its special attributes. Today, more people are recognizing this form of love and commonly refer to it as
"Twin Soul" and "Twin Flame" Love.
Eros, the God of Love, and Psyche, an earthling, with their eternal and unwavering commitment to
each other, to God, and to serving humanity and the cosmos are a role model for others to follow. Not perfect in their human
fallibility, they, nevertheless are wholly committed to each other and are eternally connected via body, mind, and soul. The
article explains more, but the left side of the symbol reprsents Psyche, the right side represents Eros, and the infinity
symbol represents their eternal union. Thus,
a heartfelt thank you is extended to Marios for the sharing of this knowledge and since it was gifted to us, we are making
it available to everyone. ~ ~ ~ Thursday,

Important Works by Joe Kincheloe | | | Since Joe passed away, with
the education domain being corrupt as it is, his work has become muddied and confused. Our mission is to clearly distinguish
Joe's work from other people's work, particularly in relation to ideologies that Joe has not supported in his own work, such
as Marxism. He had nothing good to say about Marxism, even though he was extremely skilled in finding the "good"
in everyone and everything, being the Eros that he was (and still is). Joe helped many new scholars get their start in book
publishing and he was open to multiple perspectives and everyone having a voice, but he was not open to people misappropriating
his work or taking his theory backwards. His work is clarified in the free PhD dissertation (see information below) written
by Vanessa Paradis. We will continue to point out the misapproppriations by the black magic elite members of education and
clarify his work in future articles. His work is about EROS LOVE. It's just that simple, as complicated as his work may seem.
| Thus, the following article contains a list of his works
prior to his death: The Works of Joe Lyons Kincheloe
The
following seminal articles by Joe Lyons Kincheloe are available for free download on the Internet.
Kincheloe, Joe Lyons. (2001).
Describing
the bricolage: Conceptualizing A New Rigor in Qualitative Research. The bricolage advocated here recognizes the dialectical nature of the disciplinary and interdisciplinary relationship
and promotes a synergistic interaction between the two concepts. In this context, the bricolage is concerned not only with divergent methods of inquiry but with diverse theoretical and philosophical understandings of the various
elements encountered in the act of research (Abstract).
Describing the Bricolage
by Joe L. Kincheloe Kincheloe, Joe Lyons. (2005). On to the Next Level: Continuing the Conceptualization of the Bricolage.
The bricolage offers insight into new forms of rigor and complexity in social research.This article explores
new forms of complex, multimethodological, multilogical forms of inquiry into the social, cultural,
political, psychological, and educational domains. Picking up where his previous Qualitative Inquiry article on the bricolage left off, this article examines not only the epistemological but also the ontological
dimensions of multimethodological/multitheoretical research (Abstract). On to the Next Level

Joe Lyons Kincheloe's
Magnum Opus (Great Work)
Yes, I admit it -- I want to see not only a social and pedagogical
revolution but an epistemological and ontological revolution as well. (Knowledge & Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, p. 252). Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction Check back here regularly as Vanessa Paradis, the world's expert on Joe's critical complex theories,
will be adding articles that clarify certain aspects of his work. It is sure to be very interesting and amazing! If you
are a scholar citing Joe's work, please DO contact Vanessa with any questions. |

Clarification of Joe's Work
Did Joe Lyons Kincheloe Discover the
Golden Chalice for Knowledge Production?: The Application of Critical Complex Epistemology and the Multidimensional Critical
Complex Bricolage [doctoral dissertation] by Vanessa J. Paradis
This dissertation helps clarify and demonstrate Joe's
theoretical work. Abstract This
multidimensional critical complex bricolage research study explicates and demonstrates the late Joe Kincheloe’s
(December 14, 1950–December 19, 2008) interdisciplinary, multitheoretical, multimethodological bricolage in conjunction
with his theoretical formulations of critical complex epistemology, critical complex ontology, evolving critical pedagogy,
critical psychology of complexity, and fourth dimension research. Elucidation was deemed crucial due to the
great promise this research process offers for producing insightful, innovative, and practical knowledge that will contribute
to more informed solutions for complex social and educational issues. This study has expanded the conceptual understanding
of bricolage through multiperspectival and metaphoric examinations of the research process. Additionally, Kincheloe’s
theoretical delineations have been analyzed to help clarify his advanced concepts. Methodological, theoretical, interpretive,
political, narrative, philosophical, critical hermeneutical and feminist dimensions have been employed in this study, combined
with diverse cosmologies, epistemologies, and ontologies. It was found that this unique research process provides an exemplary
means for studying complex, symbiotic, dynamic, and hidden dimensions of interrelationships. It can be applied in all disciplines
and is also useful for teaching, learning, and for professional and everyday problem solving due to the power it offers in
generating immediate and effective actions for change. This study was remarkably transformative for the researcher, helping
her come to greater understandings of the new phenomenological “daily lived experiences” she encountered during
her research journey. She concludes that Kincheloe has developed, with his conceptualization of the multidimensional critical
complex bricolage, an exceptionally rigorous empirical phenomenological research process, which employed in its full dimensionality
contributes to his goal for constructing a critical science of complexity. The multidimensional critical complex
bricolage is particularly promising for empirical phenomenological inquiries into cognition and consciousness, a long-standing
neglected area of research.
Articles About Joe and His Work
Paradis,
Vanessa J. (2011). Remembering Joe Lyons Kincheloe: A revered master. Journal of Epistemology: for everyday living and
lifelong learning, September, 2011. The
scholarly literature, to date, provides primarily one-dimensional perspectives about Joe. Disconcerting in particular, is
the trend of equating his discourse skills to "crack" and/or "craic" by certain authors, this reference
allegedly meaning “conversation” and associated with the Irish tradition of storytelling. In contrast, the author
expresses her perspective that Joe was a "master of discourse" and a Master Teacher to be revered. Remembering Joe Lyons Kincheloe: A Revered Master Pinar, William
F. (2010). A Southern Treasure. Journal for the Association of the Advancement of Curriculum Studies. July, 2010.
“Joe L. Kincheloe died suddenly on December 19, 2008, cutting short an
astonishing career that traversed the history of education to curriculum studies and critical pedagogy. It is a body of work
that merits our sustained and critical attention, as it articulates the key concepts and issues with which many of us have
grappled during the past twenty years. One place to begin the study of Kincheloe’s work is Shreveport, Louisiana, where
I met Joe in 1989.” (Pinar, 2009). A Southern Treasure by William Pinar | | | |

About Joe Joe was born in the rural Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Tennessee where
he had witnessed extreme forms of poverty at a very young age. He had identified closely with the people around him who struggled
in poverty. Being a very loving and empathetic person, even from a very young age he took on the suffering he saw among the
poverty-stricken Appalachian children he befriended and attended school with. When he was 11 years old, his parents chose
to move away from the rural mountains to Kingsport, Tennessee, where he finished out his schooling. He was not pleased with
the education he received in Kingsport, but went on to college to earn several degrees in order to teach and study -- with
no doubt, the idea of making a difference in people's lives. His early experiences with poverty and education motivated him
to spend his entire life developing a brilliant educational theory accompanied with a powerful research methodology. This
combination makes learning fun, highly motivating and rigorous, and helps people rediscover their personal power so that they
are able to improve their lives and the lives of the people around them.
A Poem for Joe: Thank You!  by Vanessa Jae Paradis
Thank you for the “Toil and Trouble” Thank
you for the love you shared You will always be known as The professor who was never afraid To show how much he cared. Thank
you for the “Knowledge” And thank you for “Einstein” And for new words such as “Panache” Which
I found out later Is a fine place
to dine.* Thank you for all of the music Hidden
and interwoven for us to find It makes reading your books Such a pleasure as we learn To read between the lines. And I love the critical bricolage To solve oppressed strife It’s
so great to apply this theory To discover truths and
untangle Our complicated problems
in life. Thank you for your honesty And telling us so much about you That’s a lot of hamburgers,
Joe But if truth be told, many of us Have eaten many more. You have left so many brilliant
works for us There is no way to fully
thank you Your work covers such a wide range Of knowledge, theory, philosophy No
doubt at all: The world will change!
*(As
I found out, Panache is a great restaurant in Newport, OR)

The Day I Met Joe
Most of the seven months I worked with Joe was
online and through email, although I did have the good fortune to meet him in July, 2008, when he was at a university in Vancouver,
Canada. It was a very enjoyable and humorous day, and we shared lots of laughs over our respective foibles when it comes to
crossing the border back and forth between the U.S. and Canada. You can read more about our hilarious time together here (I
never laughed so hard in my life): The Day I Met Joe.
I did not get many pictures of Joe (although I was fortunate
to get one of us together), and then I recently discovered the above interesting snapshot of him when I was
going back through my photos. I had no idea I was getting the light in the picture above his head as shown in the photo; I
was focused on capturing his joyful smile while he was conversing with people. The funny thing about this picture is
that when I had been working with him and his webmaster on his special project, I had actually referred to him as an "angel"
due to his kindness and unconditional love which he was so well known for. He was and he will always be an angel -- and "Eros"
-- in my book - in fact, in all of my books! I love you, Joe!
