This course is an introduction to the controversial structural issues
surrounding educational institutions and practices in society. By focusing on
the major theoretical approaches that are useful in examining and
re-considering the immanent regularities of the school as a dynamic organism,
this course is structured around this major purpose: examining the ways in which schools are
embedded within cultural, social, and historical contexts and questioning the
role of schools in producing and/or transforming the existing power relations
in society. In addition, the course will offer critical engagement with
intra-institutional centers, i.e. a set of authority/disciplinary patterns and
governance structures, rituals, and micro-practices established around the
students, administrators, teachers, communities (families). This course does
not offer a continuous reflection on the contemporary issues of education, but
inhabits instead back and forth encounters of the micro and macro level of historically
and culturally sedimented discourses that root silently within these circles.
The major objectives of the course are as follows:
- To become familiar with the nature
of relationship between education and social, historical, and cultural regimes
along various dimensions.
- Examining the school as a society
within itself with a particular concern about the pervasive ideology, patterns
of values, the web of authority/governance and their everyday practicalities.
- Interpreting the connection
between everyday life practices performed in an educational setting and the
surrounding communities, i.e. family, local networks, communities etc.
