RP 255 - Philosophy and Education

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: No . This course will introduce students to the philosophy of education through a close reading and discuss of key foundational texts as well as more contemporary, critical works. Education raises questions not only about the nature of knowledge and its transmission, but equally about power and its circulation. This course will examine the intersection of those questions as we reflect on the meaning of education and its role in contemporary society. (FA)
