Summary

Trekkie popular culture responds to Star Trek as a myth that serves to forge a unifying social identity. Dr. Anijar explores this phenomena in light of the influences of television in children's lives, postmodern theories of teaching and learning, and the effects of utopian interpretations of Star Trek on teaching practice.
