In Disturbing Pleasures Henry Giroux demonstrates how his well-known theories of education, critical pedagogy and popular culture can be put to use in the classroom and in other cultural settings. Adding an entirely new dimension to his thinking about the cultural sites at which pedagogical practice takes place, Giroux illustrates how professors, school teachers and other cultural workers can appropriate what he refers to as a "pedagogy of cultural studies."
Giroux attempts to rewrite the relationship between pedagogy and popular culture by expanding the notion of pedagogy both in terms of meaning and application, and addressing how this works through various cultural forms.
