Education, Justice & Democracy
niet bekend
- Education
- is
- a
- contested
- topic,
- and
- not
- just
- politically.
- For
- years
- scholars
- have
- approached
- it
- from
- two
- different
- points
- of
- view:
- one
- empirical,
- focused
- on
- explanations
- for
- student
- and
- school
- success
- and
- failure,
- and
- the
- other
- philosophical,
- focused
- on
- education’s
- value
- and
- purpose
- within
- the
- larger
- society.
- Rarely
- have
- these
- separate
- approaches
- been
- brought
- into
- the
- same
- conversation.
- Education,
- Justice,
- and
- Democracy
- does
- just
- that,
- offering
- an
- intensive
- discussion
- by
- highly
- respected
- scholars
- across
- empirical
- and
- philosophical
- disciplines.The
- contributors
- explore
- how
- the
- institutions
- and
- practices
- of
- education
- can
- support
- democracy,
- by
- creating
- the
- conditions
- for
- equal
- citizenship
- and
- egalitarian
- empowerment,
- and
- how
- they
- can
- advance
- justice,
- by
- securing
- social
- mobility
- and
- cultivating
- the
- talents
- and
- interests
- of
- every
- individual.
- Then
- the
- authors
- evaluate
- constraints
- on
- achieving
- the
- goals
- of
- democracy
- and
- justice
- in
- the
- educational
- arena
- and
- identify
- strategies
- that
- we
- can
- employ
- to
- work
- through
- or
- around
- those
- constraints.
- More
- than
- a
- thorough
- compendium
- on
- a
- timely
- and
- contested
- topic,
- Education,
- Justice,
- and
- Democracy
- exhibits
- an
- entirely
- new,
- more
- deeply
- composed
- way
- of
- thinking
- about
- education
- as
- a
- whole
- and
- its
- importance
- to
- a
- good society.
