Culture and Education : Looking Back to Culture Through Education Hardback
Edited by Filiz Meseci Giorgetti, Ali Arslan, Craig Campbell
Hardback
Description
This book explores the fascinating and complex interactions between the ways that culture and education operate within and across societies.
In some cases, education is imagined as an integrated part of general cultural phenomena; in others, educational interventions become the means for transforming the cultural circumstances of different populations.
The contributors to this volume show how certain educational practices produce new cultural and professional knowledge; discuss the impacts of initially foreign educational ideas and institutions on established cultural institutions in very different societies; and explore the impacts of modernity and modern educational ideas on more traditional gendered and religious practices and communities.
The book also provided striking examples of when these impacts were not benign.
Increasingly powerful twentieth-century governments attempted to use education and schools to produce new, reformed citizens suitable for their newly created colonial, national, socialist, and fascist states.
The expectation was that cultural and social transformation might be engineered, in major part, through schooling.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Paedagogica Historica.
