Daniel Liston is professor of education in the educational foundations policy and practice program, and the instruction and curriculum in the content areas program. Professor Liston's research interests include curriculum theory, teacher education, and radical educational theory. Specifically he has explored the various beliefs about and justifications for distinct curricula; he provides articulations for and critiques of teacher education; and he examines the varieties of radical educational theory. Recently Professor Liston has begun to explore the various ways reason and emotion interact to affect the practice of teaching and the education of teachers. His teaching interests focus on curriculum theory, the social and political foundations of schooling, and radical educational critiques and proposals.

Professor Liston is co-editor (with Hilda Borko and Jennie Whitcomb) of the Journal of Teacher Education (2005-2009). He currently co-directs Colorado Courage To Teach, a program of professional development and renewal for public school personnel. Professor Liston and Professor Paul Michalec (Denver University) have developed a Courage to Teach retreat program for Denver Public School personnel, funded in part by the School of Education, Fetzer Institute, and the University of Colorado at Boulder Outreach Committee. He has been a member of various professional organizations including (at times) the American Educational Research Association, the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE), and the American Educational Studies Association. He has served on the Editorial Review Board of Educational Theory, received the AACTE Outstanding Writing Award, and was awarded the University of Colorado SOAR Teaching Award.
