THE LEGACY 
Paradis Publications applies the theory of the late Joe Lyons Kincheloe, who is sure to go down in history as the greatest education theorist of the 21st Century. 
 
In loving memory of Joe Lyons Kincheloe
(December 14, 1950 - December 19, 2008)
 
Joe KincheloeJoe's educational work provides inspiration and practical guidance for teachers all over the globe and describes a beautiful, beautiful mission to alleviate human suffering. He has left us a map with multiple pathways for accomplishing that mission -- an authentic, rigorous, impassioned, creative, and even magical education for everyone who dares to venture on untrodden paths. His work serves as a guiding light for educational journeys that can change not only how we view and enact the educational process, but that can also truly change us as teachers, students, and researchers -- and empower us to change the world. Joe loved research, teaching, writing, making music, and his students. And his students loved him.

Vanessa Jae Paradis


I am an independent researcher specializing in the application of the late Joe Kincheloe’s new empirical phenomenological research processes, critical complex epistemology and multidimensional critical complex bricolage with a focus on the study of consciousness. 

As an author who is breaking paradigms for research, writing, publishing, learning, teaching, education, psychology, and the sciences, I am working toward changing things most educators seem to have been unable or unwilling to change—on the ground and at the front lines.

Having lived in poverty my entire life, my mission is to continue to work toward changes that lead to social justice and equal educational opportunities for all. Encompassing that mission is the task of exposing the growing number of ways those who hold power continue to keep those who are already in poverty forever entrenched in poverty through policies and promises that are deceptive. Pretending that there are paths to a better life, such as through expensive student loan-financed corporatized education entrenches those who can least afford it deeper in debt, reducing their chances for not only their own future, but also their children’s futures and on down the line. Instead of providing hope, far too often, dreams and hope become permanently extinguished.

Wishing to disassociate myself from the university I had been attending for my doctorate due to their unjust treatment of “nontraditional students,” their low standards and their political, military, and economic alliances, I abandoned my quest for the PhD “piece of paper” despite having completed all of the requirements with a 4.0 grade point average, a 649 page dissertation that had been approved to the highest level (but apparently  not at the elite level), and exceeding expectations for not only one specialization--but two. Thus, I specialize in both higher education with a focus on science research and instructional design for online learning. I also hold a Masters degree from Oregon State University in Education Technology and have completed undergraduate work in art, engineering technology, psychology, and environmental sciences.

The moral of this story is that it is clear that those of us who are disadvantaged and disempowered by the system cannot expect formal public education to provide an education that will break glass ceilings or lead to a better life. We must seek beyond the curriculum (and beyond the curtain) and take actions that will hopefully pave the way for future generations. Update for 2024: I advocate for the complete demolishing of the Department of Education. It is so corrupt that there is no possibility of repairing it to serve the people. The decisions for education must be made individually and locally at the community and state levels. If the COVID debacle has taught people anything, it should be that it is obvious by now that the power brokers have no interest whatsoever in ensuring a good education for children. Follow the money.

I owe my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude—and my eternal love—to Joe Lyons Kincheloe for leading the way.

My dissertation, Did Joe Lyons Kincheloe Discover the Golden Chalice for Knowledge Production? The Application of Critical Complex Epistemology and the Multidimensional Critical Complex Bricolage, sets an innovative precedent for identifying Twin Flame relationships empirically, conveying the power of Divine Eternal Love and Unity, as well as demonstrating the power of rigorous qualitative/phenomenological research in the bricolage for producing transformative and empirically-sound, scientific knowledge.
 
Through creative use of innovative bricolage research processes, we can all discover better ways to learn and live--for ourselves. The elite few can no longer dominate or hold all of the keys to success and dictate what constitutes our education in ways that force us to serve them. And with the multidimensional critical complex bricolage, there will be “No More Secrets; No More Lies.”
 
Once and for all, bricolage as a research and learning process can begin to level the playing field. Everyone can learn it--outside of formal education. Joe predicted it would lead to a Perpetual Revolution. It's already beginning. Join the Revolution today, take back power over your own life and contribute toward a better future.
